What Visitors Are Saying
Recent reviews from people who visited Social Security offices in Maryland.
I went to file for disability benefits and the process itself was smooth, but finding the Andrews Air Force Base office was confusing. Better signage would help.
Had to update my name on my social security records -- got in and out in under an hour. Not bad at all.
The social security office in Baldwin really improved since my last visit. Wait times were short and the staff to replace my social security card was knowledgeable.
Went to the Avenue social security office first thing in the morning to apply for retirement benefits. There was barely a line at that hour. The entire process from check-in to walking out took about 25 minutes.
It took a while to get seen at the Ashton office, but once my number was called the process to enroll in Medicare was pretty quick.
I needed to replace my social security card and the Arnold office made it painless. In and out in 30 minutes.
