I would give it -5 stars if I could. The Lady Who Worked on the Window “E” is absolutely Very Rude and horrible. She needs to get fired. This was worst experience I had with the SSA because of her.

The reps have no control over this RIDICULOUS system. It's truly amazing how government agencies can't seem to have enough staff to do things well. If this was a business, it would have gone broke fast due to the poor service. EXTREMELY terrible communications.

Went in on a Monday without an appointment. Explained my situation to security and a gentleman of SSA. Got a replacement card/ number issued within 5 minutes. Overall, the service was super friendly and. Ery efficient 👍

Appointments can only be made by phone, but will not answer the phone. Not only that, if you are on hold long enough, they will just hang up on you! This happened to me 5 different time over the course of 4 hours, before calling a different office and asking if I could deal with them instead. The other office was great. The National call-line took a while, but was also helpful. This location needs new people.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How much can a person work monthly without affecting ssi benefits.

Tony Grey | Aug 18, 2018
clay fairless | Aug 18, 2018

My husband says its about 800 if you make minimum. Which is 730. It doesn't affect retirement. Just disability. After 800 you lose 1 dollar for every 2 you make.

Wanda Mooney | Aug 18, 2018
Alisa Conrad | Aug 18, 2018

I just had to do this you have to go to you local ss office to order one and they will give you a stamped paper proving you did if you need it for employment or anything else.

What do i need to obtain a replacement card and can i get it same day?

Traci Jones | Aug 17, 2020
Kathi Bruyere | Aug 17, 2020

You need proof of identity and a proof of address and you don't get your card the same day you get a verification letter from the office stating that you have applied and you will be receiving the card in a couple of weeks.

What steps do I need to go through to notify the death of my wife ... who is on Social Security?

John Ingram | Aug 17, 2020
Kathi Bruyere | Aug 17, 2020

Go into the closest Social Security administration office with the proof of a death certificate signed by the coroner/m.e. and then publicly announce her passing if you haven't already. You can also take the announcement of her death with the certificate in to the S.S.A. office. You can also do all of this online but in my opinion it is better to do it in person.

How long normally for waiting???

Kristen Smith | Aug 18, 2019
Kathi Bruyere | Aug 18, 2019

Like most government agencies you should expect to wait for at least an hour.

I'm sorry that's pretty vague. However, I have a hunch you may be looking at Beneficiary Identification Codes (BIC) which code a persons claim for what it is so for example some I looked up: "A" is used to represent a "Primary Claimant" and "D1" is used to represent a "Window" 1st Claimant" and "E" is used to represent a "Mother/Widow/1st Claimant." I hope that helps and if you think that may be it then there is a list of the codes they use online or just call and ask. No matter, if you need to go downtown to the offices, make sure to call ahead and make an appointment or you'll be turned away.

My ex husband has applied for disability, I have sole custody of our minor child. It is my understanding that we qualify for family benefits. How do I verify he is receiving disability and apply for our child?

Amy Lomanto | Aug 18, 2019
Shannon Gresko | Aug 18, 2019

You will have to go to the Social Security office and speak to a person you will need to bring your husband's social security number and your son's as well as his birth certificate for proof if you are divorced from your husband you will need to bring the paperwork from your divorce if there is a child support set up you will need to bring that as well I hope this helps have a great day 😊

You can get one online if you sign up for mysocialsecurity on the Social Security administrations website.

I can't see what I'm typing. I did not want early ss I just wanted to see theoretically how much I would get so I can plan pt work to tend to my husband w dementia. They approved which concerns me that they will start early at a lower rate for life.

Insurance? I do not understand. What does that (Medicare?) Have to do w ss? I can't get a hold of ss to find out how much my monthly benefit check would be at this early age (64) - versus at full retirement at 66 yrs 6 mos. Are you talking about Medicare covering 80% and I need a private co. To cover the other 20%? I know all this. My husband is retired on ss and Medicare, plus UHC supplement. Why do they withold/hide the amt. From Me that I would get now and as time/age goes on until full retirement? I do not even know that figure. It's crucial for planning (pt work).

how do i get a new social security card

Sunset Admin | Apr 19, 2022
Greg Newman | Apr 19, 2022

No that is not correct. I just went through this process. First you must go to ssa.gov and print out a social security form, then fill it out. Then you have to call their local office and schedule an appointment. They will NOT accept you without an appointment .

Does this place not take walk ins or appointments? I try going there and the doors are locked, i try calling and the line is busy and hangs up. No hold time or anything.

Amanda Franklin | Sep 21, 2021
Luke Filose | Sep 21, 2021

You should call the local office number to make an appointment. You can walk in during business hours but there's a security guard who will probably tell you to call for an appointment...

Are there any social security offices in Portland currently open during the pandemic?

Barb McGregor | Aug 17, 2021

As of 3 weeks ago, the one in SW Yamhill St was working. I would believe it still is. You need to schedule an appointment over the phone beforehand though.

Margaret Leach | Aug 17, 2021
Kristin Emerson | Aug 17, 2021

They are limiting in person services to dire circumstances because of covid right now. So your best bet is to call them and figure out how they can further assist you. So basically at this time no in person meetings unless emergency.

Is this office open ? Or Codid it shut down because of the Corona virus?

The only problem with that is getting through on the phone. It's easier to just go down there. The wait isn't very long except the first of the month

You either received an overpayment for a while and they are going to get the money back or you were working and didn't report it

No. If you have any paperwork confirming your marital status then you do not need to bring your spouse with you.

Kody Washington | Aug 18, 2019
Kathi Bruyere | Aug 18, 2019

No. They never call you personally. They put everything in writing. This is a scam unfortunately and it will continue to happen unless you tell them that you work for the f.b.i and want their business name and number

My husband was a 100% service connected veteran. He received V.A. benefits & social security. He passed away. As his widow, can I collect his S.S. benefits? I am 64 & on SSD?

Shelley Dixon | Aug 18, 2018
Duane Harper | Aug 18, 2018

I would go into the VA and talk to them or call then go down to your local SSA. I would advise going on to the website as well to verify hours of operation. One last thing, all federal buildings have security on site be prepared to go through screening like the airport.
