This has been going on for 2 years since I had a fall, brain surgery & a stroke. The guard & employees were wonderful, both days.

Took a long time but well worth the effort.

I only go here once a year to request a hard copy of my 1099 tax form. I am a retired senior. I…read moredon't have a printer at home. I could go to my public library to print the copy, but no matter what I do, I can NEVER, NEVER, EVER get into my SS account online. Thank God, I only go here once a year to obtain a copy of my 1099; I need the 1099 to do my taxes (my accountant wants a hard copy). The Employees at this SS office are very courteous, professional and helpful. My only complaint is that the parking lot is small and parking can be a PITA. Parking is free. The social security office is located in a strip mall (there is a Subway and other small businesses here). It is the tallest building here, so you cannot miss the building. Go through revolving doors, take the elevator up to the SS office. When you step off the elevator, you will immediately see the SS office. There is a small computer on the left side located next to the security guard. YOU sign in electronically with your name and indicate the "reason" for your visit. Once you complete your electronic registration, a number is printed by the computer. Take the number with you. All numbers are listed on several TV screens (numbers are NOT listed in order). Your number is called (not your name), so PAY ATTENTION and make sure you are NOT wearing headphones, or YOU MIGHT miss your turn.

In the 28 hours I was held here: barely any water. unable to eat --the one "meal" they offered I couldn't consume because of a medical condition that causes severe illness when I consume wheat. Harassed and mocked for my gender identity (after an arresting officer unzipped my coat and grabbed my chest to determine my sex). Fellow inmate denied medical attention for symptoms of a concussion after being dropped on her head by arresting officers. Ignored and later mocked for screaming and crying for help for her. Denied necessary medications and then released feeling very ill and barely able to see straight. These guards could not care less who you are or why you are in there. They would literally not care if you drop dead. They are sick people who get off on others' suffering. Shame on them all.

Only the person with the appointment can go in and up to the office for security reasons.

Limited parking on the street in front, I suggest you get here very early. Don't bring any weapons.

Happily when I came the following day there were only 3-4 people in front of me and I was here for five minutes total from the time I parked my car until the time I got back in. Yes, they may close a window even if there are people here... but are employees not entitled to breaks, and should a business not comply with the law that requires employees to have specific rest periods? I'm not mad about that. Parking around the area may or may not be metered; I've only been to the Masonic Temple for meetings or this once to the clerk's office. There's parking on the west side of the building and the surrounding streets.

Problem is I've never been incarcerated in my life. Immediately contacted Social Security and through an appointment met with a represenitive through my local Omaha field office. Provided them with all requested documents to prove that I was not incarcerated but as of 06/13/25 this matter has yet to be resolved. Not only has this matter not been resolved, but now the Chicago field office has authorized monthly deductions from my monthly social security payments "until the amount I owe is paid back" (see attachment/picture). Omaha field office has reached out several times to the Harold Washington Social Security Center for clarity on the delay and the deductions but according to the Omaha SS field office representative, none of the Omaha field offices inquiries to the Harold Washington Social Security Center have been responded to. Pretty sad that I have to resort to google review with this. This is a good example of how inconsiderate this particular Chicago field office is when it comes to these matters.

This new location is nice looking and well maintained, but that's about it…read more It opens at 9am, and I went at about 9:15am. Of course, it was already crowded, and for at least ten minutes, not even ONE number was called. Nope, not one. I'd had my wallet stolen, and the DMV had issued me a temporary paper replacement. They couldn't say for sure if the Social Security office would accept it, but I figured they would. You can guess how this ends. After waiting for an hour (yay!), I went to the counter, where a surly younger woman pointedly asked me for my documents. I gave her the DMV-provided temporary license (NOT a photocopy!), and she said she can't accept it. I had no way of knowing this. It is not on their website. It was issued by the DMV itself that same day! I can see no reason why it shouldn't be accepted, but if not, then they need to be a lot clearer. It becomes very obvious that they don't value citizens' free time one bit, not really an attitude citizens deserve from their governments.

There are two parking lots as part of the canal plaza, which can easily fill up depending on the time of day (earlier times seems to have worked out better for me). People also park directly outside on Archer for quick appointments but try at your own risk (not allowed at a certain point) The place is small but set up in a way to move efficiently and in an organized fashion. You'll line up outside to get your appointment details verified and will be let in shortly Once you're in, the staff is generally pretty tame and helpful compared to other locations. There was less asian representation than I expected but overall pretty diverse, mainly with English and Spanish speaking individuals with limited mandarin but no dedicated Cantonese staff on site (at least when I went) Besides all that, the pacing will be limited to 6 computers/stations attending to patrons at a time. No public restrooms and 2 dedicated seats for seniors. While you wait, you can vibe to some mainstream pop music as thats what theyre often playing inside lol (PS: there is a place next door where you can print documents for $3 if you need to if itll save you a trip back and forth) I think things will move relatively quickly - i had a more complicated use case so spent over an hour there but that should certainly not be the norm. Paul and one of the managers Luz worked patiently with me to verify my documents and answer the questions I had while walking me through and explaining why some procedures were being done (green card, marriage name vs maiden name type situation). Overall, had a smooth experience and would opt to come here for future services

Chairs are marked off due to the distancing requirements. There are green spot parking spots outside the office, no free parking here!
