@Ed Weir Hi Dr. Ed! Thank you for your fast reply! Well that makes sense about my claim being routed to Salinas,CA ("workload mobility "!) I found out that there is no full-time, dedicated physical Social Security Administration (SSA) office located directly in Lake Havasu City, AZ. The closest physical branch to me is the Needles,CA Social Security Administration (SSA) which is about 60 minutes away! Thank you again Dr. Ed!
