I really don't ever take the time to write reviews but this got my blood boiling. I am sure I will be able to find the answers and get outside help to make sure benefits are filed properly but it's unacceptable that you can't easily make an apt online and then have the workers refusing to give people the help they need. Let alone the poor attitude from everyone helping today, you could feel the hate for their job through the phone .

It's incredibly impressive how utterly dark, I mean like close your eyes at the bottom of the sea…read moredark, they can make this little parking lot and have it still be a spectacularly a nice day beyond the exit doors. The social security administration has no phone number to call. When you walk into the building there is a very nice guard who tells you that you can take a number and then he powers down. Like, "Yea, sure, you can live here until we close." Right on brand, very cold, kindless place. The DMV isn't too bad anymore, maybe this place could rebrand like that too.

Lied in a note that they called three times, but there is no record on my phone. And I have to call the national line to get a referral to the local office that failed to call. Took another hour on the phone. Looping phone trees for you to guess the magic words to get to an agent. And the agent you get is an asshole. Extremely rude and unhelpful. Talks down on people.

I was instructed to go downtown with my original birth certificate and drivers license. When I got there, the security guard informed me that Seattle started a call-in requirement for appointments this week and gave ne a phone number to call and a QR code for their web site. There is no way to request an appointment on their web site. After a long phone tree, the robot said the on-hold wait time was "over 120 minutes." That could mean "not today." I will try again at 8:00 AM and see if "over 120 minutes" means over 8 hours. I have spent over 2 hours today to get this far.

Scheduling an appointment will take around 60 days to have one. The place is so full of people. Many are so sick. It's is the perfect place to get diseases. The disgusting Oder is another story . I feel bad for the security lady being here all day and maintaining her good attitude. I will give this place minus 1000 if I could. Most service windows are closed too. The worst ever.

I was finally allowed in at 9:11 AM, checked in at the kiosk, and waited. At approximately 9:32 AM, my number (S196) was called. I explained that I had received a fully favorable decision for both SSI and SSDI and that my concern was specifically regarding my SSDI payment, which had not yet been received despite prior processing steps already being completed. The agent immediately defaulted to a scripted response, repeatedly stating that everything was "being processed," without listening to or acknowledging the specifics of my situation. I clarified multiple times that I had already completed my interview in February and had received SSI, but not SSDI. Instead of addressing the discrepancy, the agent continued to repeat the same generic response. I then requested to speak with a supervisor. I was told I could not, because she had already "answered my question." When I calmly asked again, she closed the window on me without providing her name or any assistance. Security then began pressuring me to leave. I stepped outside, contacted my attorney, and returned to formally request a supervisor. I was made to wait outside again--standing, in the cold--until approximately 10:52 AM before being allowed back in. After additional waiting, I was finally able to speak with a supervisor and file a formal grievance. I left the office at 11:19 AM. This experience reflects a serious lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic respect--especially toward individuals with disabilities who rely on these services. Requiring people to wait outside for extended periods, combined with dismissive and obstructive staff behavior, is unacceptable.
