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.

These security guards engaged in sexual harassment by making inappropriate sexual gestures and body language in front of the building.blocked my way, one security guard was calling me Darling come so close to me inches away other one is singing make gestures asking me to come with him, I want county to save video surveillance footage of the building as well as body cameras. This incident was facilitated by the Health and Human Services Agency, whose name I believe is Mendoza. Harley denied my benefits not due to racism, but as retaliation after he hung up on me . I informed him that I would file a report, which prompted him to gather all the security guards, including his supervisor, to harass me further and retaliate against me. This behavior constitutes discrimination against me. I requested that the County preserve the video footage and body cam footage of the security guards outside the building. I also notified a private security guards humor resources company about the incident. It is unacceptable that these individuals, who are paid by the County and wear uniforms, harass single women in uniform. This is our tax money, and we deserve to have it used responsibly. I urge everyone to speak up and take action against this discrimination. BELOW ZERO STAR

A worker called yesterday telling me I would receive an eliglibity call today at 9:30am. No call. So I called the country. The person answering say 'we don't see any authorization for you to talk to us about his case but I will transfer you to an eligiblity worker". I was transfered to waiting music for about 15 minutes. Finally a human answered and when I gave the case number, the last four of his SSN, and our address, she said "we don't have any paperwork on file here allowing us to talk to you." I hung up in disgust and called my son's doctor. The doctor (just like last year) said he would call these people and help me!
