I called the Social Security office today (09-13-2022). The representative Mary was rude and seemed like she just wanted to give bare minimum answers to my questions.

I’m 71 years old retired and on social security since 2017 I’m getting the full amount since I retired at 70 years old, now that I’m unable to do any work at all, can I get an increase if I’m disabled to work?

I don't know, but I don't think so. You go to the office. It doesn't take too long. They are relatively fast at the Hammond office...much quicker than speaking to someone over the phone.
I would like to come to the office to apply for social security retirement benefits, do you accept walk-in? would I need an appointment?

Is there a bus route to get to the SS office? It's across town, a long walk, and I'm without transportation. Also is there another way to get important documents to the office without mailing? It's actually too expensive for me right now.

@Lynn...not sure but I know you will need an appointment at the Hammond office beforehand. Good luck to you
Yes, the Security Guard will meet you at the door, and are waiting for appointments, they told me there is no need to knock, because they are expecting you for your appointment

Call the Hammond social security office to make an appointment. They will tell you what paperwork you need to bring with you.
If I'm 17 & pregnant and not receiving my benefits, how can I receive my own check without having to go through my legal guardian.

How do u find your work history from social security
Deshunda Williams | Nov 4, 2019
Sherry Lattimore | Nov 4, 2019
Hello Deshunda. My lawyer took care of that. However, I was asked if there were any other jobs I had that were not listed. Social Security also has a copy of your work history.
