Being newly retired to NC from Massachusetts I had some questions and went to this Social Security office. After reading some of the reviews I wasn’t sure what to expect and was a little apprehensive. I was a walk-in without an appointment and after signing in I waited for about 1/2 hour before being seen but I expected that. This office is efficient and clean and the staff, from the security guard to the representative I saw, were all very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. No reason to be apprehensive at all.

They say you need to make an appointment! What a joke, on hold for over 40 minutes trying to get thru to Hickory office. Phone was never answered by a human. That is totally unacceptable for a government office. Makes you doubt that any information they give you will be correct. Lousy business practice when people have to put their trust in them!! June 15th. Took my chances and went to the office without and appointment. Arrived at 9:01 and already several people ahead of me. Only had to wait 15-20 minutes. Security guard was friendly, professional and was very helpful in directing you to correct person. I was lucky and got a young gentleman that was very friendly, very helpful and genuinely interested in helping me! Had a very pleasant experience. My advice is arrive when they open they still require mask and distancing.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Patricia Lovins | Oct 1, 2019
Niki Pope | Oct 1, 2019

Can you schedule an appointment online

Elizabeth Roze | Oct 1, 2019
Niki Pope | Oct 1, 2019

Go online and it will ask you what you want to do. It will prompt you every step of the way to make your appointment for the Hickory office. But your process would be quicker if you call the 800 number for Hickory instead of the National number in D.C. Both numbers are on the internet or you can Google SSA information. Good luck.

How do I apply for spouse benefits?

Ruthanne Martinson | Oct 1, 2019
Niki Pope | Oct 1, 2019

That depends if the spouse is living, disabled, or deceased. If your spouse is dead, you will need to bring certain papers with you to the SSA Office. 1) spouse's birth certificate, SS card, death certificate and proof of your marriage (usually a marriage licence) just to name the ones I remember. Also your SS card. 2) If you make an Appointment ahead of time, your wait will be much shorter. BUT BE THERE ON TIME! Or even a little early. All the instructions are online too. Hope this helps.

How do I change banks for SS deposits

gordon richards | Oct 1, 2019
Patricia Clark | Oct 1, 2019

Get your new bank account, keep your existing one temporarily , but just until you get your SS checks changed. Tell your new bank that you want your SS checks changed to be deposited into your new account with them. Then as soon as you get everything switched and going to the right account close your old account at that time. You do not have to go to the SS office. I hope this helps you.

Brandy Houck | Oct 1, 2019

It really depends on the type of benifits that you are receiving. If you receive regular SSI I am pretty sure they have to count your husbands income. But if you receive full SSDA then they will not.

My recommendation is that you get a disability lawyer to help you with the process. I was denied disability twice before I hired a lawyer. The lawyers are very knowledgeable about the process and will present your case before the disability judge. It helps to have everything well documented and if you can get letters of disability from your Doctors.
