What Visitors Are Saying
Recent reviews from people who visited Social Security offices in Louisiana.
Stopped by the Abbeville office to replace my social security card. Plenty of parking and the wait was maybe 15 minutes -- very smooth experience overall.
Visited the Abita Springs office and waited almost 90 minutes just to apply for a social security number. The building was hot and uncomfortable. Staff seemed stressed.
Had to update my name on my social security records -- got in and out in under an hour. Not bad at all.
Went to the Addis Social Security office to enroll in Medicare. The staff was helpful and I was done in about 45 minutes, which was way faster than I expected.
Needed to apply for retirement benefits so I went to the Aimwell location. The building was easy to find and had good accessibility options. Staff was professional and got me taken care of quickly.
Waited way too long at the Akers social security office. Once I was called, the actual process to file for disability benefits was fine, but the wait ruined the experience.
