Washington Social Security and Raleigh Social Security will say one thing. Asheville and Hendersonville say another. They're only slow Backwoods Democrat influenced. Just like the rest of Asheville government.

I call everyday and I am put on hold for over 30 minutes before I give up. I am trying to make an appointment at the Asheville office because NO-ONE who answers the phone, the rare times someone has is not very bright. They do not listen to me before making recommendations or an answer and when I point out to them again what I am requesting they put me on hold and research my file again and again. I recall before the pandemic you could walk in and see someone. Appointments were not necessary. It is extremely disappointing our government is so broken and no one that works for them is educated. Everything that is on-line is incorrect and the COLA that was issued for 2022 does not even show up in my account. It is a good thing I am not desperate for my checks! UPDATE: I actually showed up at the office and was able to see someone to straighten out my issue with miss-information. I am delighted by the help I received.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

jannielle hoyt | Oct 8, 2021

If 65 is the age of full retirement for you, you will be switched from disability to retirement. You can earn income on disability and retirement. There are limits however.

I am 64 and will be 65 Dec. 27th. I have heard that I MUST set up medicare, whether I start SS or not---or face a penalty. How and when must I sign up for medicare?

Ashlyn Creasman-Prospere | Sep 8, 2022

If you’ve lost it all you will need is your I.D. walk in no appointment needed as of right now. It’s quick and easy. But they mail it to you so you won’t have it in hand on the day of.

marco lacagnina | Apr 11, 2022
Rachael Duke | Apr 11, 2022

I called the local office. The appointment was about a month out, but at least there was not a long wait.

All I want is to talk to a real person or get an appointment at the Asheville NC office. After 13 calls and 2 hours on hold, I am very frustrated. Please, respond immediately.

Karla Reed | Apr 11, 2022
Rebecca D'Elia | Apr 11, 2022

Keep trying is all I can advise. It took me 26 phone calls over several days. I just called when I could fit it in my schedule. After waiting for 10mins or so, I hung up and called back. I eventually got through and made an appointment. They did tell me that they will soon be going back to the old method of you showing up and getting a number and waiting. Good luck and I wish you lots of patience!

Ernestine Earley | Oct 8, 2020
Carlos Argueta | Oct 8, 2020

No. This is a scam call. If SSA wanted or needed information, they will send a letter or a request to see you in office.

Marjorie Bortolotto | Oct 9, 2019

I have a job the company I work for told me it would be part time but its like 60 per week and now I might get a fine but the disability people made me go for a 4 hour evaluation and will not let me know if I'm getting a fine they keep me up in the air in suspense. But if I get a fine it won't be the first time I got one before so your not suppose to make 880 a month.

can one get another social security card with the same number if you lost the original card

Bonnie Abrahamson | Oct 9, 2019
Carlos Argueta | Oct 9, 2019

Yes, when you ask for a replacement, it is the same number. Only under special events (with A LOT of paper work) would you be given a new number!

I make a salary and distributions from profits from a small business. If I take early retirement, would the distributions be counted as income?

Vann Boyd | Oct 9, 2019
Rachel Taylor | Oct 9, 2019

I don't have a clue, you ought to call the Social security office.

I am on Social Security now, when my wife turns retirement age, can she draw off of me since she is eligible for only a small amount for herself?

James Dennison | Oct 9, 2019
Maxwell McDaniel | Oct 9, 2019

That's something they'd have to look into for you at the office, or you can see if your question is answered on their website.

Can you use a birth certificate to get your soical security card

Jeff King | Oct 9, 2019
Carlos Argueta | Oct 9, 2019

No. A passport or State ID or Drivers license are your best bets.

My SSA 1099 has been misplaced, I need a copy for my taxes and I cannot get into my social security on line at this time. Do I need to go directly to the nearest social security office in person, or can I speak to someone over the phone.

Christine Ryan | Oct 9, 2019
Miranda Peterson | Oct 9, 2019

I would go directly to the location for that particular matter.I believe it would be most helpful because more than likely they won't be able to help you with that request over the phone and they are more helpful in person!

Hey I am disabled and have A.L.S (Lou Gehrigs) I have been sick since 2005 but am wanting to work somewhere doing something, for maybe 10 hours a week. Do I have to get approved for this? This is just something I want to do in order to get out.Gary

Robin Duke | Oct 9, 2019
Eric Campbell | Oct 9, 2019

I believe there is a limit on how much you can make a year. Not on hours worked per week.

I got a call from a number that said spam alert, the recording said something about my ss number has been suspended. Thats not a thing is it? Has anyone ever heard of this?

David Felkel | Oct 9, 2019
Linda Frazier | Oct 8, 2020

Sarah Patton | Oct 9, 2019
Wendy Hughes | Oct 9, 2019

If you mean Medicaid card, those are issued through the Dept of Social Services, not the Social Security office. If you need a replacement Social Security card, you will need ID for both of you and apply in person.

Can I go to the social security office to receive a copy of my social security card, after already receiving one a couple months ago?

Frank Troitino | Oct 9, 2019

Not a copy, but you can order a replacement as long as you have I.D. or proper documentation.

Patty Webb | Oct 9, 2019

anita tucker | Oct 9, 2019
Carlos Argueta | Oct 9, 2019

That is a difficult question to answer. SSI benefits do get adjusted with living arrangement changes. Its best to ask about your specific scenario to get the best answer.

Does a Durable Power of Attorney work when dealing with a social security issue

Catherine | Oct 9, 2019
Dawn Stepp | Oct 9, 2019

Yes, a durable power of attorney typically covers medical and financial decisions. That being said there may be provisions in your specific POA that limit your power. Good luck.

I am retiring at the age of 64 and will use Cobra for my insurance needs until I turn 65. My full retirement age is 66. Can I put off receiving my SS until I am 66, but still sign up for Plan B Medicare and pursue supplemental insurance

Sue Wood | Oct 9, 2018
Emmanuel Johnson | Oct 9, 2018

Think Medicare b is age 65. And ss can be put off not sure how long have to wait but is something to ask dss probably first. Close local resources are willing to reach out and help just keep in touch.

Recently moved to NC. Do I just call any Social Security office to change my address?
