I wrote a letter to SS and all that was needed to be handled was handled in 7 days. I write letters (on forms if possible) as much as possible to any large entity.

When calling anyone that has automated phones I give as little info as possible and keep hitting "0" or asking for "agent." They just make you repeat all that you entered anyway, so why waste time? If the 0 and agent requests don't work, find out what does. Sometimes it's just saying "other" over and over.
