    Located in Uptown Whittier, this location serves nearby residents as their go to Social Security Office. Upon entering, there is a self check in kiosk (available in English and Spanish). If you need further assistance, there is a security guard that can help you with additional questions. Once you have signed in, just wait for your number to be called and/or popped up on the TV screen. There are plenty of seats available in the well air conditioned waiting area. Aside from having multiple windows open with customer service reps, there are additional cubicles in the back for further assistance and privacy. My work has brought me to this office at least three times now. Each time that I've been here, all the staff were helpful and patient. They are very accommodating to whatever needs you might have. Not to mention, this office is very efficient. I have never waited more than 5 minutes to see someone. If English is not your first language, or you just feel more comfortable in communicating in another, free interpreting service is available. All you have to do is call and make arrangements with the office. The following languages are available for free of charge interpreting services: Arabic Armenian Cambodian Chinese Farsi French Greek Haitian Creole Hmong Italian Japanese Korean Laotian Polish Portuguese Russian Spanish Tagalog Vietnamese Deaf/Hard of Hearing Call 1-800-772-1213 Hours of Operation: Mon-Fri 9:00am to 3:30pm Parking: Plenty of 2 hours street parking available. You can also park in the parking lot, but most of the time it's filled since it is shared with Wells Fargo (also located in the same building).

    No guard on duty.  A big area here would accommodate my bike if racks are too expensive.

    I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Not bad for a last minute trip to the office. I needed a new card and it was mailed in no time.

    Do I need an appointment to change my name?

    No. You do not need to. I just called and was told that they do not offer any appointments anymore. It is all walk-in.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this morning's visit to the Whittier Social Security office on Greenleaf.

    Wow! I can not believe how low the rating is and bad reviews, for a city that is all I've known…read moreall my life. I grew up here, my kids grew up here, seen lots of changes since 1975 (yup!). I can understand the complaint about the incompetence of city employees; I've had mine with the Police Department & also with Whittier High School & WHUSD (side note w/both school & school district, I'm talking a few certain employees, the rest of employees were fine, it takes a few bad apples, as they say), that is much needed area of improvement, but I don't take it out on the entire city. And the city is most certainly not desolate! Try going to San Bernardino and you will change your tune. Yes, there has been ongoing rise of crime, tagging/graffiti, lots of outsiders from all other cities moving here- both good & unfortunately bad (West & So. Whittier and unfortunately pockets of Uptown as well) moving into the area, apparently it's appealing to them as well. There are times I go to Uptown for dinner, drinks or to chill, it seems like you have to be there in the day time till early evening before the mob of socialites & attitudes come out at night and saturate it. But again, it's not that bad, just know when to go, know where to go and know when to leave, if your the younger generation, then I guess you guys know how to handle it, focus is elsewhere anyways right? But what does the city have to do with it? If we can all look up above it and take it for what it is and make the best out of it, then it's all good. I probably won't buy a home out here, unless I won the Lottery and was in a position to pick and choose (I choose Whittier Hills, Friendly Hills & the best of East Whittier only), but mostly likely looking to get as far away from the city and live on an open field of homes with a view of the mountains in the quiet sleepy town of Yucaipa, what some will call boring, I call it peaceful. But when I get homesick, I know I can come back to good old Whittier. The point is, if your new to the area, have an open mind and give Whittier a chance.

    Whittier is one of those cities that has pretty much everything you'd want from a city, from nice…read moreshops, restaurants and a large middle class population. If your a foodie your gonna love this city because we have it all and who makes the best of a certain type of food is up for debate! The city is pretty safe compared to neighboring cities and yes Whittier has pockets were gangs and low life's thrive but Whittier PD is pretty aggressive keeping the city safe. As for the average citizen we have old folks from the old Nixon days and the new generation of people trying to live in a modest home and give their kids a good life! If I could suggest any change i'd say the city needs to do something about the homeless in uptown and the gang activity in the surrounding area! Also limit the number of apartment complexes and section 8 because we already have a large share of renters! This city has a lot to offer on the weekends if you check the city website. It's far from a boring sleepy town, It's a thriving town with wonderful people living in it!

    LAPD RECRUIT CADETS, with all due respect for all the men and women that are training as a cadet…read morepolice officer I respect you all in training to be an police officer in Los Angeles County with high crime, life threatening risks. The injured recruits in Whittier should have ever taken place! The big question is WHY ARE RECRUIT CADETS RUNNING ON PUBLIC VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION ROAD WAYS? Obviously this training procedures should take place on a TRACK OR FIELD, built for just that! A Track or field specific area for training recruits! please gather funds to build such a track or field in order to invest in safety needed for the training for all cadets in Los Angeles to use as a safe area to train for carrer in protection out city! if thesee recruit cadets are training for our safety shouldn't we give them a safe place to train? SAFETY IF FIRST, right? May God protect and recover these brave men snd women and find a appropriate training venues to carry out safe training locations. Running in our streets is obviously not safe! Ingrid Haffey, Los Angeles Resident and Former Director of Safety & Risk Management riskminded@gmail.com
