I received exceptional service last week at the Norcross Social Security office and would like to recognize Mrs. Pham for her outstanding assistance. She went above and beyond in clearly explaining the financial options of delayed vs retroactive benefit. Her explanations were thorough, easy to understand, and extremely helpful in making an informed decision. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and attention she provided throughout the conversation, all with a warm and friendly attitude. Her professionalism and kindness made a significant difference in my experience. Outstanding customer service like this deserves recognition. Thank you, Mrs. Pham, for your dedication, compassion, and excellent support. read more

Save your trip! Visit their website to update your personal information, apply for benefits, and access other services. If you need in-person help, you must call to make an appointment before you visit. You can also create a mySocialSecurity account from their website to request a replacement Social Security card, get a Proof of Benefits letter, and more. Appointment based only. Make sure you make appointment online ahead of time. They check it at the entrance by the security guard, and also when you check-in at the receptions, you need to be in their system so you can get a slot/ticket #, then you will be called to the window. If you don't realize your number is being called there is a verbal announcement. This keeps verbal announcements for all people minimal and reduces the noise. Overall, this is an excellent example of a govt office working well and providing great service. The staff were extremely friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to help. They completed all the paperwork within minutes. Lot of free parking in front of the office. The office is maintained clean and neat. I truly appreciate the excellent service and the work they do. read more

I mailed my Change of Address Letter to this office, at least 2 weeks before I received it back. The Yellow Tag said Return To Sender Unable To Forward. it covered their Office Address. I received my Letter back April 25,2026. The SS Office was open today. If it was open last month. Why wasn't my Letter Delivered? On the front of it was written VOC. Does that mean VAC (Vacant) ? I have a Screenshot. I am just covering myself for any future obligations. read more

Freaked out about getting it back However, the SSA made super easy to get it back The employees were super nice Helpful Some even funny It took me under 5 min To meet with someone and submit my info ( fillout most of your stuff online to avoid a lengthy process) Also this is an appointment based service only Book yourself an appointment before coming up there I was told 5 business days for my wait to receive it Mrs Whitfield assisted me. She was the absolute best! I wish everyone a great experience like what I had!!! read more

When calling this field office (my claim rep/reviewer is here), I was assisted with the utmost care and professionalism. I didn't feel rushed, the rep. listened, and provided me with accurate details regarding my claim. In a system that can feel overwhelming or frustrating for both workers and claimants/beneficiares- the Norcross office personnel truly makes the process easy. Thank you! read more

Back to the red tape. Early mornings are tolerable to get your SS business done that you can't get done online. Highly recommended! read more

I just wanted to comment on the exceptional knowledge base possessed by Ms. Gabriela Woo. Her customer service was exceptional, advice on target, and the ability to clearly explain SSA processes and procedures are to be commended. I know that this office has been through some tough times during this shutdown, but the staff continue to serve the public in exceptional ways. The check-in process is clear, security is present and provides a sense of safety, the wait time is reasonable, and the service is, again, exceptional. I hope that this review allows leadership to increase staffing, funding, and maintain employee engagement through this short CR period. Roberto Ruiz, retired USCG and the CDC. read more

SHELLEY GREEN at the Social Security Administration office located in Norcross, GA has been OUTSTANDING. She is currently assisting my son and I with a death/survivorship benefit that we very desperately need. The general process regarding SSA has been a very disappointing and slow experience. However, Ms. Green has been very professional, responsive and personally dedicated to our case. We are hoping for the proceeds this month (July 2025) with Shelley's assistance. SSA, Shelley Green at the Norcross office is one of your best employees and she should be rewarded and highly recognized for her high level of knowledge and outstanding customer service. read more

I wanted share my experience with a Social Security Advisor, Claudia, at the SSA office in Gwinnet County on Shackelford Road office. Claudia has been very professional and helpful with both my wife's (Denise) and my Social Security application for SS monthly payments. Claudia is a very caring person that wants to help people which is the way it should in customer service even when it's the government. We have spoken with her several times and she has made the process extremely easier than it appears for people in general. Thanks Henry Diaz read more

At this office guard at door said I had to have appointment to enter. on Thursday Feb 13th I called the 800 number and held for 90 minutes no one ever answered. and there was no way to leave a message read more

Appointment required but not advertised online. Security won't even let you in the door without an appointment. Can't even make an appointment online. The number the security guard had me call that's posted on a sign out front didn't get me in touch with an actual person to make an appointment. Ended up going on their website to find a completely different number than advertised and am currently waiting 45min to speak to a representative. I asked a lady walking out how she made an appointment and she said same thing and that the soonest they could fit her in when she called to make an appointment was TWO WEEKS. read more

I was so afraid to use the system to get benefits for my son whose father died in January 2024. Let me just say....Ms. Hawkins, Claims Specialist, from the Norcross office blew me away with her compassion, professionalism, follow up and follow through. Her efficiency was bar none. She didn't mince words. She was knowledgeable and made sure I understood everything. She treated me like a person and not a "case". But what stood out the most was that she handled me with such kindness after this unexpected death. Her words of comfort were icing on the cake for helping through this grieving process. I was beyond pleasantly surprised because this is a government office. To Ms. Hawkins' supervisor... she is a jewel. Thank you so much Ms. Hawkins for holding my hand through this process and keeping me informed. You remembered...me and my son. This office and Ms. Hawkins exceeded my expectations and for that I am grateful. read more

It would be helpful if the website stated things as they are at this location. I followed the instructions given on ssa.gov but I've wasted my time because apparently I can't get an appointment anytime within this next couple of weeks just to get a replacement card. This is crazy and also typical of the inefficiency I've come to expect in Georgia. read more

Goodness help the people who work here. Every idiot known to mankind shows up at their doorstep looking to milk the system. The poor security person asked a simple question: what are you here for? Most couldn't answer it, they just mumbled or showed papers of one sort or another and made the guy guess. I showed up at 8:30, there were about 20 people ahead of me, they split the line in two depending on what you were there for. I was seated at window #2 by 8:40 at a "Fast Track" lane (I suppose I was able to verbalize what I wanted which distinguished me!). I completed my form and the window was open by 9 sharp. A supervisor checked my form at 8:49. My business was completed by Jon very efficiently and I was out the door at 9:03. Yay! read more

Appointment required but not advertised online. Called customer service and told me that they accept walk in but they do not. They have to update their website to stop wasting people's time to go there just to get an appointment and come back again for the actual appointment. read more

Came to change my name on July 11, 2019. Waited a little over an hour, which was to be expected, given the number of people there. The staff was friendly and quick! Got my new social security card on July 18th! Great turn-around time! Only complaint is that all social security offices close at 12 on Wednesdays, which is ridiculous. read more

Very rude security guard I talk to him ask him to go in inside for to see my daughter seem like he want to take control like you obey me, . boss y and have me stand there conversation with him and I on the phone. I ask him I need to go see my daughter inside and then he act like he's so angry of me and now he's so rude and scare me . So I'm out of that Social Security this is not right, every American person should have right to go in without fear and this man make me feel so fear and when the girl come in with little little girl he was smiling Glenn act unprofessional.time 12:30 pm may 27,2024 very very disappointing it. I have been in Social Security everywhere. A lot of security guard is nice and helpful. Not scare people. Away. read more

Glad I read that reviews. They prepared me for the worst.. even though I was hoping for the best. My plan was to arrive 30 minutes early, with documents filled out, my favorite book in hand and a snack in my bag. My daughter and I arrived at 8:45. We were greeted and asked the purpose of our visit. Then we were led to a window to have a seat. At exactly 9 o'clock the shade was raised and we were assisted. Would you believe we were in the car heading home by 9:15??? Everyone was happy and helpful and gracious! read more

Social Security Administration - We're early!!! - Public Services & Government Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

I decided to try this location to see if the experience would be different from one I visited years back. It's a nice location clean with enough parking and seating inside. I went on a Wednesday in which it seems all the social security offices close at noon on that day but open till 4:30pm the rest of the weekdays. It wasn't too busy and I stood in line briefly in order to check in at the computer. You get a print out that will tell you what number you are in the queue. They call out the numbers on a clear telecom system and also have the numbers in queue displayed on a screen. There was a security guard nice enough to tell me what form I needed. They have the forms available there so you don't need to print them out prior to going there. My wait was 24 minutes for a request for a new card. read more

I had the great pleasure of dealing with Mrs Whitfield. She was very pleasant she listened to my concerns and was very professional she resolved the problem and I was grateful to speak to someone who really cared. Government workers sometimes get a bad wrap and are the brunt of distasteful jokes . I'm telling you this lady was a cut above. I hope her supervisors see this and realize what a asset they have in Mrs Whitfield. I hope if any of you who are reading this have a problem that you can run across this lady or someone of her caliber because whatever it is she will get it taken care of and resolved. Thank you . read more

Well... when you have to go to a government office, we all know what that's like but I will say, they had a nice system worked out here at the SSA. I guard motioned for me to get my ticket, they had plenty of windows with actual employees working them and for a building that was packed with people, I only had to wait about 20 minutes. Once my number was called, I believe I got lucky and got one of the managers, she took my papers, and got me out of there in a few minutes. We even chatted and joked around a little. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice job. I hope anyone else who has to go down there has the same experience I had. It was relatively painless. Lol Much better than the darn DMV. read more

Very fast, prompt and handled my concerns!! Went a lot easier than I thought it would.

Long wait, no order and tickets mean nothing I hated being here but they got the job done

Goodness gracious! I came here to get a replacement social security card for my daughter. The parking here is horrible. I had to reverse drive, because when you make a right to enter, there is no exit. When I walked in, there were people standing, and filling every seat. I was lucky, because a guy that was sitting, moved his paperwork. That of course, allowed me to sit. I got there at 10:35, and was able to check in at 10:41. To replace a child's social security card, there are certain document that you need, of course. What I don't understand is why you may need an actual ID, as proof, for a child. I caught hell trying to prove my daughter's identity. While sitting there waiting on my number, I began to see people getting discouraged. They started walking out. People were complaining, and folding their arms. I did a little dance, because that meant I was one step closer to being called, for every one person that left. When I was called up, I gave all of the documentation. Birth certificate, court ordered name change, my left arm, and my pinky. It still wasn't enough. I needed a photo ID, or medical records with a doctor's signature (had to include her date of birth on the document, and an original,) or an insurance card with her date of birth and my name on it....... Man! When the social security worker was telling me those items, I told him that I most definitely have something like that in my car. He said that he would give me three minutes, and if I'm not back, he was going to move on. Well, I fast limped my tail to the car. I didn't know I had that type of limpy speed in me (I have back trouble, and sciatica, so my left hip hurts constantly.) Anyhow, when I went to the car, I was able to find a doctor's note with everything I needed on it. I gave it to the representative, and he accepted it! Boy, you talk about luck! I did NOT want to come back to that place. I must admit, if people had all of their documentation, it would probably be a lot faster there. I guess I added to the low productivity. We ended up leaving at 1:00 pm. read more

This is ridiculous. Their hold times are grandiose and their customer service is even worse. They need to survey and fire some people. I do not trust them with my ssn. read more

The security guard was very nice, first of all! He was super patient with all of us as he answered questions that people had, helped those who were disabled and in general displayed a level of kindness not often seen in government offices. Although the wait was a bit lengthy, over an hour, once I was called, I was serviced with dignity and the gentleman who assisted me was sharp and willing to assist in any way possible. I left satisfied and comfortable that a resolution had been reached. read more

I went here as an afterthought at 1PM. I carried my SSC in my wallet against everyone's advise and lost it. I have NO idea where it is but it was in my wallet when I lost it at the airport and it was no longer there when I got the wallet back. It's been over a year now and I've had that nagging feeling in my head to get a replacement just in case. I got off my fat ass(i wish) and drove there armed with my Passport, DL, W2 and that form you gotta fill out. When i arrived, everyone looked like they had been there for a while. The people sitting beside me already became friends and knew about each other's life story. You know how that goes...... I wait patiently and 28 mins later, my # was called. The lady was courteous and efficient and for a replacement, she only needed my State ID(DL) and the form. I was out of there in 30 mins flat and left the poor guy to my right still sitting there even though he got there before me(sorry brah). Your wait could be longer depending on the purpose of your visit so....Good Luck! ETA: Received my SSC yesterday I wasn't expecting it SO soon! I wish Traffic Court was like this! read more
