Need to call the Social Security Office Columbus phone number (800)-772-1213 to reach a human? This guide covers how to call and reach a live human yourself at the Social Security Office Columbus. I'll also show you the money-back guaranteed method using Claimyrs Social Security Office Columbus callback app to get your questions answered and benefits unlocked - no more endless hold times or frustration.

How can I speak to a live person at Social Security Office Columbus?

It's simple. There are only two ways to reach a live person at Social Security Office Columbus

  • 1.) Manually - ensure you have a whole day for this method. You'll dial (800)-772-1213 over and over again until you get on a 2hr + hold time - I'll show you the fastest way to do that.
  • 2.) Use a calling app that does all the work for you. It does all the dialing and stays on hold for you. Once the Social Security Office Columbus Agent is on the line, the calling service forwards the connection to your phone. (RECOMMENDED😎)

Option 1 (SLOW): call manually - time to a human rep = 2+ hours of manually calling and waiting on hold.

Here is the best way to dial through the Social Security Office Columbus phone menu

  • Step 1: wait 153 seconds
  • Step 2: press 0
  • Step 3: wait 13 seconds
  • Step 4: press 0
  • Step 5: wait 11 seconds
  • Step 6: press 2
  • Step 7: wait 5 seconds
  • Step 8: Enter your Social Security Number
  • Step 9: wait 17.5 seconds
  • Step 10: press 1
  • repeat the above steps as needed, usually between 60-100 attempts

Once you reach this stage of the phone menu, trouble can start. I tried the Social Security Office Columbus phone number (800)-772-1213 and everytime the estimated wait time to reach an agent was 2+ hours.

  • What's worse is that the system hung up on after being on hold for 90 minutes and I had to start all over. A total loss of my day.

Option 2 (FAST): use a call app - time to a human rep = callback with a live agent within 1 business day or less guaranteed.

By far, the fastest option is to use software. Robots are simply better at this task than humans ever can be.

  • Step 1: head to Claimyr
  • Step 2: select the Social Security Office Columbus office you need to reach
  • Step 3: Use Claimyr to call for you. It's a paid version, but they guarantee to get you connected without waiting on hold. (You can research Claimyr before buying to be sure)
  • Step 4: Let Claimyr do the work. Relax and wait for your phone to ring with a Social Security Office agent on the line!
