Arrived at 11:45 on a Monday. Rushed back outside the door rather rudely because they were over capacity without anyone outside of the door to warn you. Then we were told it would be a 15 min wait. Shortly after that, another guard came out saying it would be 1.5 to 2 hours and we'd be better off leaving. Go go gadget government. Thanks for nothin!

We understand that this place can be so busy and people getting uptight with the service. My wife and I went there today and the problem was addressed within 10 minutes and out we went. My wife had something in her purse that they don't allow in the office so I had to run back out to the vehicle with it but no big deal. All marshalls we encountered were polite and respectful doing their job. The gentleman behind the counter that helped us was great. I don't always expect a wonderful time at a venue like this but felt they needed to be acknowledged for the service today and professionalism.

I sent in paperwork to have taxes taken out of my SS I was told to send it to the local office...that was November they still are not doing it. I called the SSA number and was on hold for 2 hours and 45 minutes and they just disconnected me. They are not doing their jobs very frustrating.

I sat on hold for over two hours just to be told to visit the website and have them hang up on me. It is impossible to set up appointments on the website, and is impossible to get ahold of a representative via phone. I visited the office a few weeks back to get a new social security card and there was only one person accessing the computers. She was new and helpful but a group of four employees stood behind her overseeing what she was doing rather than helping other people in the waiting room. The state and system need to do better especially due to their work quality affecting peoples financial status.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My name is Barbara Thomas. I mailed a request to withhold 10% federal tax withholding to the office in Vancouver two months ago. I do not think the taxes are being taken out of my SS payment. How long does this normally take?

Paul Jacobsen | Aug 18, 2019
MH Dominguez | Aug 18, 2019

When calling Social security be prepared to be on hold for any time up to an hour more or less. I just put it on speaker phone put my feet up and read or play games. You may have an option to give a number for a call back without losing your call in line. Make sure to have your questions ready. Many things can be done on line when you have your account set up as an appointment may 1-3 months out. If you go to the office the wait may be 1 - 3 hours. I have done the wait routine both ways. Both work fine if you are patient. You could also call Medicare directly since you have Part A.
