Social Security Administration

Got here a little past 9:30am today, and about 10 – 15 minutes in, I’m already next to be called.
Obviously, I was expecting to be here a few hours. I’m a very happy camper so far.

We are a staple for badluck in my house. I have multiple stories of bad luck. Stuff that is hard to believe. A few years ago my husband had a car fire on the way to Vegas. As he exited his car, what he thought was his wallet was actually his cell phone. His wallet with the SS card burned to a crisp.
I’ve been bugging him to replace his card. I drive by this office daily on way to work. I even stopped by ahead of time to pick up the application. Well he never went. Fast forward, I filled out the application online, had him sign it, and we went.
So you need legal proof of citizenship and ID for a card. His USA passport and drivers license were all he needed to get a replacement card along with his application.
This location seems less busy than the one in Anaheim. Located off Gilbert and Chapman. There are 20 windows but only a few were open. You still get to have the pleasure of waiting. Luckily we waited about 15 minutes. I am sure this is NOT the norm. But it was a holiday week, which explains why it was empty. We were assisted by a kind gentlemen who made the process super easy.
Seating area has padded benches. One is back to back which gives you close sitting quarters with the people behind you.
Plenty of parking and overflow parking in the Walmart lot. Just be cautious, lots of speed demons exiting quickly.
Just beware, super crumy hours…9 till 3ish and noon on Wednesdays. Found out the hard way. Plan ahead and check site for hours. That way you don’t make a trip for nothing.
Security is helpful, tells you to check in, get a ticket and answers questions and sends you where you need to be. Assistance is available in multiple languages.
My only complaint is the smell inside. Has a funky scent that reminds me of a hospital. And it is super duper hot inside.

Went in to get my name changed .
Got there and it was hard to find an immediate park
(Best bet park near Walmart and walk over to avoid the tiny SSA parking lot that has only 20 spaces)
I immediately saw the long line wrapped around the building
I walked in and went to the kiosk and got a ticket to be called!
I waited for about 30 – 35 mins and was out in a jiffy!
The lady at counter 6 is a hard worker she gets people in and out!
Love her!!!
Grateful for this experience. Grateful for the service!
In 48 hours I’ll be at the DMV!

The security guard and the lady who helps u sign into the electronic kiosk were very helpful. Full marks for those 2 employees.
However, I am here right now on a Wednesday. They are only open 3 hours on a Wednesday. You would think that these muppets could ‘battle’ through 3 ‘long’ hours without a break so as to speed things up a bit. I was here 20mins b4 opening and still quite a large line of ppl. I expected this and am not complaining about that. I do feel I have to complain about these bludgers who sit at their window for an hour then go on their break for what has been about 30 mins now. In what real world job do u get a 30min break after working 1 hour on a 3 hour shift?
