I've been here for quite a while now and this security guard is a control freak.
And I am not exaggerating.
It would have been worth driving to hendersonville, if I had known.

I can never get thru by phone -- every call gets disconnected either right away because "all our representatives are busy" or I get put on hold and then after 20 or 30 minutes I get the same message again and then disconnected. How can anyone set up an appointment? How do you get help when you can't go online or log in to your account? All I want is to process a simple address change and there's no form for that and no way to do it by mail (even the IRS allows for that). How am I ever going to get signed up for Medicare when I can't do the very simplest things? The national phone number is just as bad, too.

What kind of person only works from 9am-4pm? Calling for appointment is extremely ridiculously troublesome.

Best to call your local office to see if they need to schedule an appointment or if you can walk in. My experience if you can go in they just ask for a valid non-expired ID. They said it would take 14 days for the card but got mine closer to 7 days.
