Social Security Office

As I approached Social Security age one thing I dreaded was having to deal with the Social Security Administration. I imagined long lines, crowded centers, or lengthy holding times on the phone. This is the closest location for me so I decided to try it. What I found was not what I expected; clean waiting area, not overly crowded, pull a number and sit, wait for number to show, then go to the noted window, have a seat and discuss your issues with a specialist. Signing up for benefits was an easy process and everyone I’ve dealt with seemed very knowledgeable and experienced even suggesting things I never thought of. At least this location gives me a positive impression of a large government bureaucracy.
