There are kid friendly height chairs and tables for the young ones to feel like adults. Books are easily within reach for every young age and the librarians are so helpful.

Given the shaky state of the SSA under DOGE, I have been very pleasantly surprised at how…read more*functional* and orderly our local Champaign-Urbana office has been. The lobby has enough seating normally. There are no frantic crowds. There is one man sitting guard at a desk. The number system keeps things orderly. Staffing appears a bit low, so it takes a while, but none of the waiting times (in 3 visits this 2025) have been unreasonable for a government department. Employees are polite. My just-started benefits arrived *early*. You would almost not be aware that things in Washington, DC, and Baltimore are in chaos. I have far more trust in getting results by visiting our local branch than waiting endlessly on the official SSA telephone lines. (Admittedly understaffed.)

My letters are not received (since I never get replies from them) and they keep sending me the same letters over and over again. I got it the first time!

The sliding scale, the extra precautions for the compromised is commendable. No frills, just good ingenuity at its best. You can't beat the price and the care is definitely present. The office or treatment room or therapy dome whatever you want to call it is spacious. Efficient, yet, personalized experience I'd say. I'm just getting started on my acupuncture journey, but so far, I am not mad at it.

They are professional, courteous, and absolutely know what they are doing. I highly recommend them.read more

The veteran writing below about the woman who runs it being on a power trip is not exaggerating. She is rude and enjoys her a little slice of power in the middle of nowhere, and I feel sorry for The veteran, who has served our country, to have his paperwork rejected. Or anyone else for that matter. We're all citizens. We're actually paying her salary. It's the problem of living in the middle of Trump territory with a Republican representative. They don't care, they don't have to. Apparently they're Christian in word only. There a DMV, they have records that access and they could easily access verify records that are in the system as killed the police, they could help but they choose not to. They pointed the sign that lists the required documents and snuggly and clearly with joy they like their power andPoints at the signs that list the "Acceptable" documents. And snuggly in to finally they just say "it's not. Me, I'm just following rules". It sounds a little bit like what you might expect to hear from Germany in the 1930s, "I'm just following orders". Welcome to fascist Trump America We're people could be nice and could help, but they won't be - they choose not to be, and sadly, they seem to enjoy it. They're a little slice of power and authority and control. Bordering on sadism.
