It’s not just you. It’s not just the phone number you’re using. It’s not just one or a few Social Security employees. The problem is much bigger than that. The Social Security Administration doesn’t have enough employees to get the job done because its operating budget isn’t high enough.

You can do two things about this problem:

  • Quit calling. Go to the office in person. Waiting around at the Social Security office for an hour or two sucks but it doesn’t such as much as spending even more time than that trying to call Social Security.
  • Complain to your member of Congress. That’s who controls Social Security’s operating budget
