And the nearby offices whose calls aren't going to the TSC have to deal with desperate people trying to get a local person.

As a Rep one must call SSA 1800, leave the Reps SSN and SSA calls back in an hour. It is essentially unworkable as a SSA claimant representative, far worse if you are a clamant. Yes SSA is understaffed, but they can move staff around in a more workable manner. I get the impression staff are so burned out this method suits them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-21085247206221937152016-07-08T17:03:23.047-04:002016-07-08T17:03:23.047-04:00No.No.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137672187633182101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-35655700802766199582016-07-08T14:02:36.732-04:002016-07-08T14:02:36.732-04:00I apologize for this being off topic, but can anyo...I apologize for this being off topic, but can anyone explain why the Taylor Street office in Fort Worth has been forwarding all of their calls to the 800 number since the beginning of May and it just continues every day, with no relief? We can't reach anyone in the office at all. The other offices say they can't work on the Taylor street files. We have tried faxes and don't get responses. There is another number where we can leave a message if we have an extension (and if we know who is working the file.) We have a few direct extensions but they all go to voice mail and nobody returns calls. Does anyone know how long this will go on? Any ideas on how to deal with it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
