Recent reviews from people who visited Social Security offices in Colorado.
Nice experience at the Arvada office. I needed to apply for a social security number and the staff was professional and efficient the whole time.
I visited the Arapahoe Social Security office to enroll in Medicare. The wait was about 20 minutes, which isn't bad for a government office. The person who helped me was thorough and made sure I understood every step.
Waited way too long at the Arboles social security office. Once I was called, the actual process to apply for retirement benefits was fine, but the wait ruined the experience.
Stopped by the Arlington office to replace my social security card. Plenty of parking and the wait was maybe 15 minutes -- very smooth experience overall.
Came in for change my address with social security. The wait was a little long but the staff made up for it.
