In all honesty I thought the Trenton office was horrible but this office is just as bad they NEVER pick up the phone you leave a voice mail for no reason because they aren’t going to hear it or reach back to you I’ve been on this for 3 months now and it’s frustrating especially for someone that has a full time job and can’t go in person!

Not always the best service there. Sometimes i get some decent help but other times some of the workers have an attitude and it makes things difficult. I have to grin and bear with it because i need to be there for some reasons. Edit: turns out a few years ago they got rid of caseworkers and call them "processors" so basically there isnt anyone specific to help you. In other counties they havent done that so idk why they would do there here. This is why no one knows anything. There's no communication whatsoever and thats just bad business. You're meant to be a board of social services yet you took out the most crucial part "social"

No answer phone and no one tried to contact me concerning a personal situation. Need better service to seniors.

Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if they are open during these crazy time? If so, what are the hours? Do we need to make an appointment? Is there a drop box where we drop off our paperwork? Any information would be amazing.

There's a large gray mailbox looking thing at top of landing in the rear entrance (aka the client entrance) to drop off paperwork, housing search forms, etc but to answer the question: Yes they are technically open until 5pm weekdays but if you can complete your business online then that's what they prefer. There's a phone number posted on doors to rear entrance to call with questions, etc plus there's a website listed for online forms and such. My reason for going there this week was emergency housing placement and I went in and had to fill out quick form and the. Waited outside to get phone call which then led me to be told to come back inside and finished up with a worker in housing Dept. I also need to apply. For food stamps but idk if I can do that online.. plan to ask today!

What about paperwork you put in and wait decision on your food stamps and health care is it gonna be process on time to get benefits for next month?

Reginald Bennett | Sep 29, 2020
Vee Kerubo | Sep 29, 2020

Hi Reginald I think we are all going to experience delay in processing most of the benefits applied because of the virus..so all you will have to do is wait and if you get sick before your insurance comes in you can always visit south jersey family services for treatment..its located on 541 high street in butlington city. And visit some pantries to get some food. I don't know where you live but we have so many pantries around.. Wishing you all the best.

Once again total BS! This exact thing just happened to a relative of mine.It's a mad coincidence that even the written date was 07-02-18. This letter arrived Thursday 07-12-18 with a compliance with doc's date of Tuesday 07-17-18! Clearly this system is working against those in need of a hand up. What can be done? Unfortunately it's a bad spot to be in. It's not like dealing with the public sector, it's government BS with overloaded union workers (CWA?). The management chain of command is also normally no help. Only thing to do is do what you can to follow the instructions, if missed dead line you should be able to appeal. Definitely complain to politicians where the buck starts and stops, if election time for said politician something maybe done. Good luck & God Bless.

Is this the office where you apply for Medicaid and is there someone I can ask questions to before coming in?
