Let's start with understanding this is a small office with 3-4 workers…read more Walking up, you'll be greeted by a security guard to ensure you are prepared for your time in the office. The one we were greeted with was friendly and had a fun sense of humor. Once inside, you check in at a kiosk (side note, if you have an appointment, you check in from your phone when you park). You receive a number and are asked to be seated based on whether you have an appointment or not. There is a bathroom, which was clean. The air in the waiting room was nice (not stuffy or hot). When your number is called, you go to a window to be helped. Please be patient as there are only a few people taking care of many and the time slots are limited. The lady that helped us gave us bad news, yet everything we needed to correct my application and set us up with an appointment to do so.

TL;DR Everything before and after felt like an agonizing eternity, but the visit itself was rather…read moredelightful. Appointments only. No walk-ins accepted. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting any SSA building before today, but it reminded me of mini DMV, with the lobby of chairs, a kiosk, and monitor screens displaying next in line lottery numbers. Now serving #### at window #. Making the appointment was easy, however a 120+ minute phone hold time needs improvement. I called in to request duplicate paperwork and left the phone on speaker to run errands while waiting in the hold queue. Two...hours...later...a friendly voice greeted me and was very helpful and thorough with answering questions. While setting an SSA appointment the rep discovered an error and determined the root cause. Since their system had my phone and email info, I received reminders and information including an advance check-in weblink for when we arrived. I followed the link instructions and promptly received my ticket number before we got out of the car. There were a couple of people inside the lobby among the rows of seats towards the right when entering. The information TV screens and kiosk were to the left. Office SSA reps worked behind glass and each space provided two chairs with partitions separating customers for semi-privacy. We spent less than 5 minutes in the lobby after checking in online from the parking lot. Our SSA rep was friendly and helpful, answering questions and providing reasonable expectations of next steps after concluding the appointment in roughly 30 minutes to resolve why we needed to stop by in person. If you have an online account. I'd highly recommend taking that route, but if you must go the SSA office, be ready to endure the steps for making an appointment and be prepared with all necessary documents.

Generally, decent friendly response from the staff and a great map program that lets you locate exactly where a problem has occurred. The staff is sometimes challenged by common sense however and you can get into arguments with them over whether a streetlight in the middle of the city is in fact owned by them or CalTrans - even when it has a City of San Diego street sign on it. Overall, a solid 3. Not the best, not the worst.

Please return my missing income from last year as I have not recovered any from the fraud payee that has been closed permanently under the care of Carolyn Housman and CA Senior Adult Services Don Myers who couldn't understand I fired him for so many years before all the pains expressed through every neglected call with SSI before I was evicted from them defaulting and caused me to lose all of my property, home, family, supplies, tools, clothing, artwork, all promised to be recovered by SDPD and property who also hung up on me with my disability that needs acomodation sometimes even costing me 50% of my paychecks to get assistance when I am well. SSI leaves me less than $300 a month after my humiliating rent amount of $1000 at the very top of what I will sacrifice for a roof over my head after 100% of my money has been on rent and trying to recover lost tools and supplies. I still need towels, heat as reaquired by CA LAW in a rental- I can't afford with default and forcing me to continue reporting SSI left me in my car screaming for help and getting hung up on... sick and unable to reach them by my car that I lived in until I lost it with my rights to have a safety plan and for care at the hospital of my choice or not.

I need help with recovering money from this month and still on hold. I hung up after a few hours on hold the first time and the other time almost an hour and half. Now I am still on hold for almost 2 Hours and they are rude and have called me Pet names at window 3 needing help suing and recovering payment for my personal charges as soon as follow up as requested in many calls since and closing of my witness as my payee shortly after as he was a Captain in the Marines and also heard the PET NAME or SEXUAL HARRASSING OF UNWANTED NAME CALLING and Sexualizing me calling me MAM countless times as I just needed help and placement.

It's all the way in the back and there will likely be a line forming and winding the corner. You walk in and then check in on a kiosk. Then you take a seat in a small room with not enough space for everyone waiting. They have 3 people up front and sometimes a few working in a back office. They get through as much as possible, as they are very busy. Staff isn't overtly friendly, but that's because people come in there and are rude to them. If you show them some kindness, they will be kind. Besides security- he was really grumpy for some reason. It's annoying that calling is not an alternative. You call at 0800 and somehow they have already "met the max amount of calls for that day". Giving many people no choice but to come in person. Medium experience.
