GetHuman-214908's review of Social Security customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Social Security customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
GetHuman-214908: waited ** minutes then was disconnected - called a second ss * which had been disconnected- called a third * and no one available to take my call - called a fourth time to ss disability to find a working number and was told offices close early on Wed. -looked up the hours and offices close at noon but had been placed on hold anyways - so assuming you are put on hold, if your call isn't answered by closing time you are automatically disconnected.
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?
GetHuman-214908: I'd give them a three 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?
GetHuman-214908: I'd give them a four out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Social Security's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
GetHuman-214908: For that I would say one out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Social Security customers?
GetHuman-214908: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Social Security to know who you are.
