I have a phone appointment for the one-time death benefit of $255 TODAY at 11 am due to the loss of…read moremy husband. It is now 12:15 pm. NO PHONE CALL. I am on hold waiting to speak with someone at the local Reno SS office. Even though my husband was already getting social security I cannot get survivor benefits until I am 60 which is this August 11th! HORRIBLE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN! Oh yeah, fun fact: my husband was also a VETERAN! Update---I finally got in touch with a live person. They rescheduled me for May 5th. I'm sure there will be an excuse then too when I probably don't get that phone call. Too bad your cushy government jobs aren't an incentive for you to actually show up at your jobs!!! I just can't wait to set up the appt for when I turn 60 this August and file for actual survivor benefits. I'll be lucky to get those next year sometime. Yeah I forgot, even though my veteran husband was already getting social security because I'm 59 I don't matter. Reno social security and social security overall needs to DO BETTER.

These people do not offer any mental help or veteran care. In fact they assault veterans. I was…read moresexually assaulted in the booking area. I was threaten with a taser for no reason, I was already being restrained on the floor. I have tried to get my records and video but they refuse. Worse experience of my life. I also believe that I was retaliated against because I told them i was a veteran and believed that all should be treated equal.

The cashier working today, Wednesday, August 20 at 4:00 PM, was very disrespectful and treated…read morepeople poorly. I understand that some people may be here because of certain circumstances, but that should not affect the way customers are treated. Everyone else was very nice, except for this woman at the cashier and the man in visiting. I felt that I was treated very poorly and differently compared to how the cashier spoke to the person behind me. She was much kinder with that person, but with me she was rude, dismissive, and unpleasant.

Back to Sparks PD to hopefully close the door on this event. I have been extremely lucky. The…read morepolice men and women have been exceptionally nice and helped make an unfortunate experience a more positive one. Sparks PD had returned my calls promptly. They answered all of my questions, and they really demonstrated empathy. I felt that they went well beyond and I am grateful. Now I don't plan to make a habit of hanging out at the PD. Hopefully I will never have to pass this way again. But it has given me an appreciation and faith in our justice system. Not an easy job and I am glad there are people full of heart that del with the public who need the help.

I have lived in the Sparks area for 46 years and I can't believe what's happening on the streets…read morefor the last 2 years. Cars running red lights and stop signs in all directions with both California and NV plates. Motorcycles cutting in between me and other cars stopped! Cars going at least 65 or more on Vista and other streets I get tailgated and flipped off for going the speed limit! This afternoon going to work on Vista, a CA driver road my bumper screamed past, cut me off then continued through the school zone same speed! only to be pasted IN the school zone by another CA SUV! It's ridiculous... Why have stop sign, signals or speed limits if no one is obeying them anyway and no one that I see is out there enforcing them!!!!

I can't name names because they kind of frown on it but the two people that are here will know who…read moreI'm talking about. Believe it or not the service that I received was exceptional. The person who helped me would not give up on fixing an issue that was apparently way back when and had no clue about. Seating area is clean the whole staff in the front are friendly and helpful but hopefully if you guys need to come down here for something you get one of the two people and believe me you will know who I'm talking about if you do get service from them because they go above and beyond what anybody else would.

I am extremely frustrated with the State of Nevada Department of Welfare and Supportive Services,…read moreGreenbrae location. Every time I come in, I'm told the queue is already full and they can no longer help anyone. I have called every single day and stayed on the phone for over an hour at a time, often with no one even picking up. I work full-time and have even taken time off work just to wait for a scheduled interview but no one even called back. I've left work early on multiple occasions hoping to be accommodated, but still get turned away because they close at a certain time when I'm there an hour before they close coming from work. What makes this even more frustrating is that my application was denied stating that my household does not live in Nevada. This is completely false. I have lived in Nevada for 21 years and have never left. A department that is meant to help families in need should not make it this difficult for working parents to receive assistance. Instead of helping people, this system continues to shut them out. This experience has been exhausting, discouraging, and unacceptable.

There are two issues with this court; first, the Judge I had avoided ruling on an issue because…read morethey were concerned of the "big picture" implications (even though the city is clearly violating state law). This shows at least one judge will act to avoid tough issues and force people to push cases to the court of appeals. The second issue is the lawyers for the city of Sparks have no interest in truly following the law - like any private lawyer, they just want to win through any means possible, including misdirection and misrepresentation - all to protect the city (even if it violates state law). This is unethical and immoral. Ultimately, the system is rigged and designed solely for the benefit of the city and its lawyers, and as such, people will not find justice in this court.

I had been struggling for weeks to get a previous year's tax transcript which I needed for certain grad school testing bureaus. Online- nada, zip. Phone calls? You've got to be kidding me.

Nada, zip...and my deadline was looming. I finally decided that face-to-face was needed and stopped by the Reno office late last week...big crowd but the guard/crowd control officer, who runs a tight ship, saved me a ton of time and energy when she asked what I needed. She told me that the transcript request system was down, all the way to Vegas. So, I returned bright and early Monday morning. Yes, there was a wait, but after an hour or so it was my turn. I was helped by a cordial IRS staffer and had my documents in hand within 5 minutes. Victory! Pro Tips: They open at 8:30 AM but if you want to be first in line, get there before opening time and wait outside. There's a little concrete planter you can sit on. The office is ground level in the big bank building across from District Court on Virginia/Court St. Most lot parking is 30 minutes only so opt for street/metered parking. Bring your quarters; 15 minutes per quarter. Don't bring in drinks or food. Don't cop an attitude, and you will be treated well. Get a number, input your info on the touch pad, and sit down. Quietly. Violators will be called out. No public restrooms so arrive (and stay) dehydrated. Bring a book to occupy yourself. Be smart (unlike me) and don't go to the IRS right before tax season

Living at Lake Tahoe the only IRS office listed was Reno NV about 65 miles away or a 130 round trip. I drove to the location which is the Reno Federal Courthouse. When I asked for the IRS office, The guard directed me to a form rack as apparently there is no actual office. The rack, which was in total disarray, was the only source of information. The Form 4868 was not available and clearly the guard was clueless as to the situation and offered no remedy. How can this be 5 days before the tax filing date on 7/15/20? A half day wasted.
