I never knew there was a social security office here, silly me I always went to the boston location…read morebecause it was Boston and that sounded more official. The ssa.gov website is very useful, all the information is there. Parking was the only pain, there are two hour parking spots in front of the office but its limited. We couldn't find any meters around; lots of off street parking with no signs other than tow zone area but people still parked there which was confusing, 9:07 check in ( there's a touch screen machine to get your number and check in). 9:20 called my number 9:28 done!!! I thought it went by pretty quickly and it was very efficient. Offices are opened at 9am so I would suggest just arriving exactly at 9 so you don't have to wait too long. In case you didn't know: there is no fee for changing your name here.

The support I received was stellar! Rick P. was knowledgeable, professional and patient as we walked through the entirety of the process to create a claim.

Hat's off to Rick P. and to DUA for staffing their agency with thoughtful and skilled employees. Thank you!

Walked in the office and talked to their front desk representative and was told to go online.

Went back to this office again and the front desk representative didn't even give me anytime of the day to explain my situation, all I got is her rudely saying "go online".

At the Social Security Administration Office, I walked in just as the doors opened and saw a manager handling a difficult situation with an elderly couple. It wasn't easy, but she stayed calm, clear, and respectful. She held the room together. When I got to the window, the woman who helped me was gracious, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. No friction, no confusion, just clear help, quickly. You never count on easy, but this was. If you need to replace a Social Security card or get a hard copy, this is the office to go to. And as a bonus, New England Coffee is right around the corner.

Space wise in this office isn't really as big just like 9 computers with employees. Some of them are empty and it's depends on how fast each transaction is with each person they are dealing with. I waited like probably less than or almost an hour for mine and the transaction is pretty straight forward so it only took me like 10 mins max and I was able to leave the place. Bathrooms are outside the office towards the right side.

The staff continues to lose paperwork, ignore calls, ignore requests, send court paperwork to the wrong location. I have been lied to be staff, as well as a woman who claimed to work for the courts, yet no one seemed to have any record of her when I followed up with what she told me later. The staff needs to be held accountable and better administrative practices needs to be put into place.

And like others I…read morewas a little surprised to see reviews on Yelp, but since this is an uncommon experience (how often does one visit a courthouse if you're not a lawyer) so I thought I would add my two cents. It's been an ok experience so far, other than the violation of my 4th amendment rights (unwarranted search) at the front door. The concession in the lobby is great because I really needed that second cup of coffee! The jury waiting room is pleasant and comfortable, it's nicely appointed, quiet, warm, and separate bathrooms for the jurors. Chairs are comfortable as well and the person greeting us was very nice. Overall it's been a pleasant experience. I dinged them one star for no public WiFi and the virtual strip search at the entrance.
