    I went to the Social Security office to give them a Power Of Attorney for my mother. Well, I get…read morethere and was told they don't accept Powers Of Attorney. I advised the the person I was trying to be pro-active due to my mother's condition. Well, person over heard the conversation and stopped me and my mother outside the office and gave us some good advice and advised us to check with DHHS. I get home and did some research and found out that there is a pre-payee designation form that can be completed with the Social Security Office that helps is something happens. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO COMPLETE THE FORM WHILE WE WERE IN THE OFFICE, AND ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FACT I ADVISED THE SOCIAL SECURITY WORKER I WAS THERE TRYING TO BE PRO-ACTIVE!

    I have been trying without success to protect my brother's interests since his stroke. I had been…read moreadvised I could become an alternate payee. I spoke with a live agent with social security via telephone who said I would have to go in person. I waited a full month for the next available appointment and made the 30-minute drive. Perhaps the poor representative in the Sherman office suffers from too much exposure to KXII as I couldn't help but overhear him with a previous guest (there is no privacy) denigrating 'YOUR president'. It didn't bode well for me as I sat there in my USA-themed blouse. When it was my turn at the counter and had explained my presence there, he coldly and abruptly stated I live too far away from my brother to be considered as an alternate payee. If this is the case, why was I not informed of this when I made the appointment over the phone with a live person before I set aside the time and made the long drive? FYI: Like it or not, he's your president, too. TRUMP 2028! Wean yourself off KXII and CNN.

    I have been to this office several times over the past few years, and it's always been clean and…read moreorganized. The people are always friendly and helpful, today I was helped by Mr. Johnson, and he provided me with great service!

    Literally THE worst experience I have ever had. I was there today for a scheduled appointment for a…read morename change after marriage. Upon walking in and checking into the kiosk, the African American security guard made a beeline towards me to inform me that after I get my ticket printed out, I am not allowed to have any food or drinks with me. I was holding onto a clear water bottle but no food. I look down at my stomach and tell him that I am 6 months pregnant. He didn't apologize just said "oh" and stood there by us. This is the first time I have been approached by someone in a federal building who demanded I either throw out my clear water bottle or put it back into my car. Mind you, I am visibly uncomfortable and bumping. My husband and I sit down to wait for my number to be called and then an Islamic woman walks in, gets her ticket at the kiosk and has a large cup of coffee with her. She sits in front of us and I turn to look at the security guard. He did not get up and walk towards her nor did he even say anything at all to her while clearly looking at her. Guess he picks and chooses whom to harass. When my number was called, I was pleasant with the employee working behind the glass. He was not at all pleasant and seemed annoyed I was there and he had to actually do his job. Zero personality and it didn't feel professional or courteous. When we were done, before I even had a chance to get up from the chair, he quickly closed his shade, indicating that he was done with me. No asking if I had any questions or anything. I am so glad that I don't live in McKinney and that I don't have to do any business there. Being new to moving to TX, that office definitely lacks any hospitality. And that's saying something from a New Yorker. I didn't feel safe there and staff is super rude. Two thumbs down.

    Ok, so my man had to handle business here. On this particular day, oath ceremonies were being held…read more I never went inside as no one was allowed inside if you were not taking your oath or other immigration purposes. I enclosed if a picture of what it looks like in Oath day because while I get that it may be crowded or maybe it's social distancing that explains why families aren't allowed inside. I don't know. But it's such a big day for them but it can't be witnessed by their loved ones. Benches outside would have been a nice alternative for families to wait as their loved ones came out with their certificates and flags.

    Recently came here and with an appointment no problems. You will not be seen unless you have an…read moreappointment and they will ask for your appointment letter at the door before going through metal detectors. Even with appointment - You will have a wait time so that is a bummer. Sometimes it's within 10 min of your appointment and others it can be 45 min. later. Mostly polite immigration staff. But be aware when sworn in only the individual will be allowed in that is being sworn in for naturalization . No others allowed. Even with handicapped people such as those using a walker.No exceptions unless your a translator, I believe, but in order to qualify for one you have to meet certain criteria. BUT the naturalization "ceremony" while by themselves is so quick!
