What Visitors Are Saying
Recent reviews from people who visited Social Security offices in Michigan.
Needed to update my name on my social security records so I went to the Allen Park location. The building was easy to find and had good accessibility options. Staff was professional and got me taken care of quickly.
Honestly wasn't expecting much, but the Alger office was great. Quick and painless.
Long wait at the Algonac social security office. Took nearly two hours to enroll in Medicare. The staff seemed overwhelmed.
Nice experience at the Allegan office. I needed to apply for a social security number and the staff was professional and efficient the whole time.
I went to the Allen Social Security office without an appointment to apply for survivor benefits. Even as a walk-in, the wait was only about 25 minutes.
The Allenton office was crowded when I went to enroll in Medicare. Staff was polite though and eventually got to me.
