Had to change my address with social security at the Alpine location. The office was clean, well-lit, and the staff moved through appointments efficiently.
I dreaded going but the Audubon office was efficient and the staff was kind.
Had to enroll in Medicare -- got in and out in under an hour. Not bad at all.
Visited the Atlantic City office and waited almost 90 minutes just to apply for survivor benefits. The building was hot and uncomfortable. Staff seemed stressed.
Great experience at the Atco Social Security office. I was out in 20 minutes.
Went to the Asbury Park office to apply for survivor benefits. Arrived right when they opened and there was barely any wait. Definitely go early!
Went to the Asbury social security office first thing in the morning to replace my social security card. There was barely a line at that hour. The entire process from check-in to walking out took about 25 minutes.
Stopped by the Annandale office to apply for retirement benefits. Plenty of parking and the wait was maybe 15 minutes -- very smooth experience overall.
