My wife and I had an appointment on Tuesday and after reading the poor reviews I was not looking forward to it and was pleasantly surprised to find everyone quite helpful from the security guard the clerk that helped us navigate what we needed as we went forward and as we left . I am in a wheelchair and as we were leaving the guard jumped up and opened the door to leave.Like I said we were pleasantly surprised with all the courtesy read more

I don't recommend it, but there's no way to avoid it. These people are not doing their jobs and do not remove themselves when there's a conflict of interest they have completely let payee representative they appointed wayne radford get away with misuse if funds, abuse , neglect, never in over 15 in person attempts , or 30 phone calls , never investigated or noted case file. They ruined mine and my daughter's life never investigating any of our claims or reports allowing him to neglect and abuse us for over 18 months, they need to do a better job at notating people's files and stop allowing people to be neglected. My PE cost me more financial hardship than I ever have known in my entire life and I'm still trying to recover from that person being highly recommended by the SSA stating they've never had any complaints about them. I understand why now because they don't notate or investigate any complaints against a certain person because they know I'm personally very well. I'd say that's a major fail and against regulations, but to get this straightened out has been a nightmare, I wish I never had to deal with him personally because they don't do their jobs correctly as far as I'm concerned, these people are covering up a lot of rules and regulations that have been broke on their end. Sadly, we are forced to deal with these people who seem to get away with destroying peoples lives. read more

Get ready... it's the review we've ALL been waiting for. Yes, your Lawrence, KS Social Security office finally joins the digital age--on Yelp at least--with fresh ink, er, that digital stuff. Ones and zeroes. Never mind. No, really, you're here searching for a review of this place? Are you out of your mind? Nothing else to do? First off, if you're here, it's because you have no choice. Get past it. Expect to be greeted by a bored, aging security guard asking if you have weapons on you. Barney Fife is armed, so be on your best behavior. The looks on the faces of the old geezers (some may say like me) coming in the door being asked: priceless. Lots of people in the waiting area? You'll be here awhile. Things move slow to my eye and that mostly seems related to there are at least 6 windows but only two people manning (or womaning in this case) them. My clerk was hands down pleasant, easy to work with and competent plus. 5 stars for her. Solved my question in less than a minute and I was on my way. Job well done. Whatever she's paid it's likely not enough. Look, as a rule I don't get online to bitch about places like driver's license bureau, court houses, etc. Places managed by the government where you enter with expectations hovering near zero. The issue here, and I confirmed this online at some other reviewing services, is the wait. There were 6 people ahead of me when I entered, took 45 minutes to clear that out so my one minute issue could be resolved. Oh, and only open 3 hours on Wednesdays, 9-12, and closed Saturdays and Sundays, you know, those times people working actually have off. I suppose it would be too much to expect they'd be properly staffed. If you come: near the corner of 15th and Kasold in an office park. Free parking. There's a bar a block away after you finish just in case you feel the need after the wait. read more

Social Security Office - Public Services & Government Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

screw the ssa! i'm a disabled veteran who served my country for ten years. i'm supposed to receive disability benefits from social security, and i'm getting pretty damned tired of starving because ssa employees are too incompetent to do their jobs. as long as they get their paychecks on time, the employees there couldn't care less what happens to the rest of us. stop telling me to find a food pantry and pay me the money i'm entitled to by federal law. read more
