~Billy: Notified representative of my mother's death on ********. She told me that the information they already had was *********. I told her I was reading from a certified Death Certificate. She said the only way I could change the date of death was to have the funeral home recontact SS*with the right date. As we hung up she said 'Damned Dummy!"
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Social Security. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Social Security problem?
~Billy: I'd give them a two out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Billy: I'd give them a one out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Social Security's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Billy: For that I would say two out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Social Security customers?
