I went without an appointment , they didn't get me in but gave me a number to call and I did and was able to handle it over the phone in the parking lot , so person on other end of phone great and had what I needed in the mail for taxes in a few Days . read more

Set an appointment, I got there about 15 minutes early, I was seen within 5 minutes. In n out quick. Great staff.

My friend had an appointment with Social Security in the afternoon. We made a day of it by visiting other places prior to this visit. We arrived early in the hopes of being seen early. We did our usual check in at the kiosk and received a number for help. The agent was 15 minutes late for the scheduled appointment. He was swift and efficient. My friend had questions but he said he didn't have time. I didn't think that was right especially that he kept us waiting, I understand there are other customers who need help but don't dismiss those who have a few questions. He called the next customer so we had no choice but to leave. They have their own parking lot read more

Someone at this office apparently put some kind of fraud block on my elderly mother's account so she can't change information on her SS government account online and she can't make changes by phone which is absurd! She went to this location a few months ago and witnessed several employees being overly aggressive and rude to other elderly patrons and looking at the reviews it seems to be a common occurrence here. read more

Made an appointment by phone had no problem on appointment. day things went well with my processor to help me. Very friendly and helpful to receive Social Security for someone 66 and 8 months. Overall good office and helpful. read more

Met w Ms Cordero at the Mesa office. She was very helpful, professional and nice. I also spoke w Bonita on the phone a week ago. Again, just nice and helpful people! Yes, being in hold might take a while, but once you talk to someone, they're so helpful. Thank you again! read more

Why the hell are you making it mandatory for people to schedule an appt when you don't call them in a reasonable time!? My appt was at 1150 I checked in from my phone online a few minutes earlier and still have yet to be seen now over an hour later and whomever the lady is at window 2 needs to work on her dam people skills because she is rude AF! read more

The people on the phone are just as rude as the people in the office. Local number is I saw someone could not find the local number it is 1- 866 9641716 .. I waited on hold and was greeted by a rude man, he cut me off saying sorry my time is up !!!!! OMG so I called back the woman who answered was just a rude, but at least she answered the question the man could have done in the first place. Do they get hired based on how curt they can be? Not a fan of how this place is run, they can take lessons from MVD which is surprisingly run pretty efficiently. read more

Very good service helpful organized and responsive. I was glad I went. In and out in less than 30 minutes read more

I was surprised with how quick and easy my experience was here. I usually dread going to these places, but it was simple with my appointment already being scheduled. They do require appointment prior to arrival. Be sure to have all your documents ready. There is also a security guard at the front entrance who will check your bags and guide you to the right direction. read more

Workers are totally rude, especially when it's a serious topic. They seem to hate their job and have no respect. Refuse to help and expect you to know everything. read more

Awfully waiting on the phone for over 2 to 3 hours to get caseworker for my girlfriend's divorce decree papers and no one picked up the phone!!! Are you joking???? Waste of time to waiting for calls!!! Garbage service!!!! read more

You are NOT allowed to walk in. NOONE will answer the phone, ever. I was on hold for two and a half hours, I was on mission. Yes, I finally hung up. My mother has died, but there is no way of just giving them a death certificate. So I mailed it. Maybe they will get it. Maybe my mother will continue to get SSI until she's 200 years old. How would we know? read more

Made an apt for 9:10. Filled out online portion before my apt. Was out of there by 9:18!!! Employee (Rigo) was AMAZING!

As of this year, they are appointment only. I wish I knew before I walked in and was advised. However, once making an appointment and coming back, the process was very smooth and fast. I was assisted 10 minutes early and left within 5 minutes. The staff member helping me was very nice. read more

Garbage liberal company. I was on ssi because of my disabilities. Then 1 time I misplaced the yearly paperwork renewal and then yall just kicked me off ssi. And now you prejudice bums say I'm no longer mentally ill. It don't work like that. Ive had to take psych meds my entire life since I was 6 years old. To function like everyone else. I have bipolar schizophrenia ptsd and ocd. All diagnosed by a actual doctor. And suddenly yall think I'm no longer mentally ill who ever at your office thinks mental illness works like that is more retarded than I am. Imagine saying someone isnt mentally ill cause they like to spray paint lmao. It sooths my autism.. but from your retard logic painting is a nomie thing . So watch out anyone that likes to draw they gonna come after you. I have manic episodes weekly. I get to be a Guinea pig for your research on medication. I love how then mental health system doesn't give a shit about the mentally ill. I bet it i start going around saying I'm a woman even though I was born a man. Yall would be racing to put me on ssi. Somehow delusions overpower actual mental illness read more

I made an appointment over the phone a couple weeks early. When I arrived I was attended to immediately and my appointment took 5 minutes. Best experience I've ever had in this type of setting! read more

First of all, if you don't have an appointment, please make sure you come at around 8:40AM (20 minutes before it opens) and wait in line. You will be guaranteed the first spot once they are open. My mother changed her citizenship status, so when we came at 8:40AM, there were only 7 people before us. As soon as it was open, we came to the first available window and we got out in 8 minutes. Fast and efficient. read more

Social Security - Waiting line at 8:40AM on Tuesday - Public Services & Government Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Went 40 minutes before they opened, stood in the cold until they opened at 9 along with at least 40 other people. When they opened it was announced that the 3 people that had appointments would be allowed inside per a new policy as of January 2025. read more

Offices open at 9 and I got there at 8:30. When I got there, there were about 15 ppl in line. Once 9:00 came around they let ppl in and I was out of the offices by 9:15. The staff were very friendly and useful. The place was clean. Super quick. I also want to note that I did not have an appointment, I was a walk-in. read more

Two stars may be on the generous side. Opens at 9am, I arrived at 9:20 am. Line was 40 deep at the door. The inside was packed, 40-50 people seated and waiting. To make a long miserable story short I was finished 1:20pm. The employees were good but this office is certainly set up to fail when it comes to time. I called previously to schedule an appointment. I simply needed to drop off completed paperwork, the 800 service agent said not necessary just come in and drop them off . . .no such thing . . . still had to wait. Appointments don't matter. read more

I was actually worried to visit this location after reading all the scary reviews. I walked in terrified that I was going to receive the worst customer service ever. The first person I encountered was the security guard and he was very friendly. Water bottles are not allowed so we were told to leave our bottle at the front desk. Next I went to the window to check in and the employee was very friendly! She checked me in quickly and we were told to wait. I waited about an hour until I finally got called to the back. The employee then who helped me was also friendly! What???? Yes so all three employees I encountered were very nice.. The office was clean and so was the bathroom. I definitely recommend this location. read more

No complications whatsoever! I would recommend you show up 15 min before opening to ensure you get called in right away. Don't take any liquids (they check your bags). Great staff! read more

I was glad I went to this branch compared to the others in town because they do more limited business than a full office. The waiting space wasn't too big and the atmosphere was a bit prison-like after having been searched and every pocket of my bag opened to look for weapons by a poker-faced security guard that gave an expression of "don't even try to nice." We had to ditch our water: not allowed. You can't talk on your phone and have to read or stare at the wall in calmness, which we all did being nervous as hell for anticipation of possible confusion and stress. I brought my Mom since my Dad passed and we had to get her on his SS benefits; in other words, a necessarily and painful life event. Luckily we were taken care of by Allen who was the one employee who stood out. Everyone else had their number called from to a jail-cell looking window but Allen came out personally to greet each person he was there to serve, and led us back to be seated. He started off by talking to his computer a bit before telling us "I know why you are here" which made us feel a little better, he was nice in giving condolences. He had all the information we needed. We ran into some computer issues when he cancelled an appointment we made (which was too far in the future, so we just decided to walk in) so we couldn't process the whole claim on the spot, but he took our information and called us back later to put it in the computer, and it all came through beautifully the next week. The whole thing was less painful and more friendly than I expected. read more

I admit I dreaded going because I was expecting an experience similar to going to the DMV. But I was pleasantly surprised that I had a very good experience there. The guard was very friendly and courteous. I did not have to wait long before I was called. The woman who helped me was pleasant and courteous. I was turning in my Medicare application and she processed it expediently. The key to visiting any government office is to go on less busy hours and days. Avoid Mondays and days right after holidays. Mid week is better. Early in the day is better than late. You can save yourself a lot of headaches that way! read more

I must say that I had a wonderful experience at this location. (Jerome ave Mesa,Az)The security guard is very professional and courteous. I did not have to wait a long time to be seen. When my number was called and I sat at the window Bonita was absolutely Amazing! She took her time to explain how social security works. I had no clue because this is all new to me since I have been helping my brother.She really wanted to make sure I understood SSI and SSDI and different programs that are available. This is important that we have more people like her because most people Don't understand how social security works and they just need to be educated on it. Thank you so much for being patient,kind and understanding!!! I highly recommend this office. read more

I keep reading the reviews, how did you even get to talk to someone? Every time I press the correct numbers on the prompt to get me to talk to an actual human it says "your call cannot be completed at this time" and hangs me up!!! Does anyone suggest just walking in to the building without an appointment? I have been trying to get my name changed for months and this has been the biggest headache ever... read more

While you do have to wait outside in the early mornings, they have a very successful system that allows you to get in and out in a reasonable time. read more

Everything was fast smooth and efficient, staff was kind as well! I went in because I got married and needed to change my name. The only complaint I have is that they told me to bring the paper they gave me saying I applied for a new ssc to the DMV to get my drivers license updated and the DMV didn't take that and I had to go back home and get more documentation so that was a little frustrating read more

I called for some information, and was on the phone for over an hour. A recording said they would be with me shortly. Looks like they put me on hold and just went home, since when I checked their hours, they were closed at 4pm.....I started my call at 3pm!!!!!!I No Customer service????? Could have at least said they were now closed and to call back later. Aren't they supposed to serve the people, not the other way around??? read more

I visited this office two weeks ago to drop off some forms requested by Social Security. I received a letter from Social Security in May requesting information about a pension I receive. The letter stated that Social Security believed I may have been overpaid the past year because of receiving that pension. I was instructed in the letter to mail documents to a Social Security office in Chicago which I did by regular mail in June. The envelope never arrived in Chicago, so in July I mailed the same documents by certified mail. It too never arrived but tracking showed it was in the sorting location in Chicago. I was out of town in September for several weeks and when I arrived home in early October, I had another letter from Social Security stating that because I had never submitted the forms (yeah, right), my Social Security payments were being suspended with the October payment--which is was. I finally took the documents to this Jerome Avenue location in Mesa, AZ, and tried to drop the envelope at the door. (I had called the office the previous day and was told, I could do that.) When I arrived at the office, 30 people or so were waiting outside in the heat. Most of them looked to be younger than 40. I was not expecting to wait 2 or 3 hours to drop off the envelope, but when I tried to explain my purpose in being there to the security guard , he was super rude and arrogant--a real little Hitler--and told me I had to wait. I explained that I was diabetic and had not eaten that morning because I had a dental appointment earlier in the day and my blood sugar was getting low. He said I had to wait my turn Some of the people in the front of the line heard his rudeness and let me get in the front of the line. Very considerate of them and I appreciated it very much, but when the guard asked for the next person to come to the door and he saw it was me, he refused to let me just give him my envelope and leave. To say I was angry at being treated so inhumanely would be an understatement. I went to a nearby post office, mailed the envelope--again by certified mail at a cost of $5--and finally this time the US Post Office did its job and delivered it. That was 12 days ago. My Social Security payment still has not been restarted and I have heard nothing from Social Security. I am 68 years of age. I have never caused any trouble with the government or police--not even a speeding ticket--and yet this is how the government treats ordinary people. Is this really necessary? Can we not treat our citizens with a little more dignity and compassion? I guess I am just an old foolish man to expect some respect from government officials. Nothing moves very fast in the government, especially when everyday citizens are involved. My Social Security payment is the difference between me paying my bills and buying groceries. A local food pantry has been giving be food or I would have nothing. read more

The crappy lady on the phone lied to me multiple times. She stated and I quote "if your child requests her own replacement social security card she only needs to send in a copy of her ID." I asked her 5 times if she was being honest, that a copy would work. "Oh yes" she's an idiot and a liar. I hate this office. read more

Please update the website. I drive 1/2 hour because the website said "open now" 9-4. It is not open until circumstances change it reads in the door. As I'm writing this yelp also says "open now"...it's closed !! read more

I had a good experience at this office. They got me in and out in about an hour and a half. I needed to apply for my Social Security benefits and Medicare, having turned 65, and I was away from my hometown of San Diego. I had tried to do it online but was told I didn't qualify for that method. I tried to do it by phone and that didn't work either, so I just went to this office which was only about a mile from where I was staying. I only had about a 15 minute wait when I got there, even with no appointment. An hour and a half after I walked in the door I walked out fully qualified for Social Security and Medicare. What more could you ask for? Very efficient. read more

Worst customer service by any government agency. Multiple requests for documents and always a different answer why they can't or won't make an appointment or give a statement that they will contact their supervisor and hung up, or that they will email their boss for the document as they do not have authority to send document. Considering this is in regards to a ruling already on record by an ALJ (administrative law judge), this is beyond unacceptable and used as a typical response to shirk duties or prolong finaixal issues they should have resolved years ago. read more

The first time I called I had a very nice lady help me out. But since everything has to be done by mail you would think they would find safe measures to take with our private info. In a regular envelope they sent back my social card, passport & ID and my passport was cutting through the paper when I got it. It looked like someone tried opening it as well. read more

Good and smooth process. Came to the place about 8:40am, waited about 15 minutes to get inside and finished all the process by 9:40am. Really appreciated the efficiency here read more

Ignore the bad reviews. Come with your stuff ready and it's super quick and easy. Everyone is super friendly and helpful!

Government office. Waited outside with a small child for 30 minutes because they only let a certain number of people in at a time. It was 110 and very hot. No shade was provided. After going inside a homeless man with a backpack who looked very sick and coughing came and slept across 3 seats. He didn't look well and kept moaning but was not checked for temp or anything. 1 week later I was very sick. Im sure I got it from that place. Other than that the employee was nice that I interacted with. read more

Did a name change app online and then came in to the office to show my docs, had a great experience! Everyone was so friendly, from the security guard to the front desk lady and both workers I spoke with. Everyone made the process very quick and painless! 100% recommend read more
