    Government workers are literally incompetent. As well as the security guards when they want to…read moreanswer the question you have for social security workers! I had went a month in advance to go ask some questions. Security didn't let me in just to ask a simple question. Said you need appointment and gave me a paper to call. Also, a form to request a copy of a ss card for a minor. I called to get appointment for a copy of a minor ss card. I ask what do I need to request them. The person tells me the usual identification for a minor(passport, school ID, vaccines and birth certificate together). Not once said that there is a criteria for the ages. 0-4 you can use this and 4 and up you can only use this. Also, all documents that is medical has to be notarized and signed by a doctor. Today is my appointment. What a slap in the face I get when I show up with the documentation that the person on the phone TOLD ME!!!! Person at the window like huh. Yeah, none of this is correct and gives me a paper and tells me this and that. He asks for a iehp card. Only card from iehp is insurance card. On the paper it says they can take that so why did he ask for it, huh? Something else about it can't be issued more than four years!!!!!!! Side note. When the conversation is all done. He said he can help me all the way until 4pm. I told him I'll be back in 20mins. I don't live far. I get back he isn't at his desk but a lady. I let the lady know if she can notify the person that sitting there that I'm back. Nothing. Waited 40min seen people go to his window to be helped.

    2nd time I've been to this office in the last 6 months.... the employees here are courteous &…read morehelpful... most of the reviews Ive read on here are not at all what I experienced... They do have a mail drop off at this location.... it is inside the building.... The officers will direct you at the front-door.... The officers are friendly and accommodating.......but need to do their job.... Thank goodness the employees here were available to help me out once again.... Thank you!!!

    July 29, 2026…read more Subject: Complaint Regarding Customer Service and Wait Times at the Employment Development Department Disability Office To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding my recent experiences at the Employment Development Department Disability Office. Today, I returned to the office after previously visiting last week. I waited outside for approximately one hour before I was able to speak with the security guard, whose name was Jacob. Unfortunately, he was very rude and unwilling to assist me. I requested to speak with a supervisor, and after some hesitation, a supervisor came out to speak with me. The supervisor introduced himself as Buddy. He approached me wearing sunglasses and greeted me by saying, "What's up? What do you want?" I found this to be disrespectful and unprofessional. I asked him to address me properly and introduced myself by saying, "My name is Hope. What is your name?" I then explained that I have a heart condition and cannot safely remain outside in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees for extended periods. Last week, I waited outside for approximately three hours under the same extreme heat before I had to leave because of my medical condition. During our conversation, the supervisor stated they were having issues and were currently working on July's disability payments. However, it appears that many people are experiencing the same problems. The conditions at this office are unacceptable. The lines are extremely long, and many people are waiting more than eight hours in dangerous weather conditions. It often takes over four hours just to get inside the building and another four hours before being seen. During that time, people also receive parking citations because the surrounding parking is limited to two hours, even though the office is aware that customers are required to remain there far longer than the parking limit allows. I understand that many individuals are seeking assistance and that the staff may be dealing with a high volume of cases. However, there must be a better system in place. No one should be forced to wait all day in extreme heat, especially individuals with medical conditions or disabilities. Equally concerning is the manner in which some employees interact with the public. Treating people as though they do not matter only adds to an already difficult situation. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed, including both the customer service provided at this office and the excessive wait times. I hope meaningful changes can be made to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion while receiving the services they need. I would also appreciate a response regarding what actions will be taken to address these concerns. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    There is a vast discrepancy between how inmates are treated depending on if they are state or…read morefederal. While I can not address the state side, medical care for the federal section is substandard, bordering on being a liability, and they are not given the same opportunity to further education, library services or other "amenities" like soap, afforded to state inmates. While you can buy (if someone puts $ in your account), soap, shampoo and purchase food from the commissary in an attempt to supplement the poor quality served, these basic needs should be met through the prisons. And I use "supplement" the food lightly as for the most part it is high carb junk food with little to no nutritional value. The approved "care" packages you can order also have little to no nutritional value and should be reevaluated and replaced with something that holds true nutrition, especially considering the prices they charge for the junk food they sell. Inmates are rushed through meals not giving those at the end of the line adequate time to finish their food resulting in more nutritional lack. While the front personnel who deal with the public are courteous, some of the behind the scenes personnel seem to be a different story. Every person in there, regardless of if they are federal or state should be treated equally as a human being and afforded a level of respect, and be given adequate nutrition, healthcare and hygiene supplies. While I realize the feds only "rent space" from the county, their inmates should receive the same "advantages" as those on the state side, including the opportunity to further or continue their education and have access to simple things like the library as literally, there is nothing else to do. In regards to mental health, and physical healthcare, it can take weeks to get someone to see you, and with mental health they hand you a paper with suggestions to help you deal with the stress......suggestions like "start a garden, spend time with friends", etc. Seriously? These people are in jail. How about some real helpful suggestions? Having not dealt with the prison system before, I am appalled. Prison Law Office has filed multiple lawsuits to address these type of issues, including those occurring at this facility. It seems like changes are promised when someone is watching, but once eyes are turned, status quo resumes. Sad.....they could do so much better. I know prison is not club med, but basic necessities, proper nutrition, adequate healthcare and the opportunity to better themselves are afforded to those who are not even citizens in this country, how about using some of that $ to fix the problems in the jails....and that doesn't mean upgrading the reception area to look nice.
