Summary
An internal Social Security Administration memo from March 13 reveals plans to require internet identity verification for phone benefit claims, forcing those unable to use online systems to visit physical offices.
The memo, authored by acting Deputy Commissioner Doris Diaz, estimates 75,000-85,000 people would need in-person visits despite month-long wait times and office closures.
This change would severely impact the 40% of beneficiaries who rely on phone service.
Meanwhile, the agency is cutting 7,000 employees (12% of staff) and closing offices. The memo acknowledges these changes will cause “service disruption,” “operational strain,” and “budget shortfalls.”
Righties are masters of hypocrisy and doublethink
As a firm believer of Market Socialism, I don’t really consider myself right wing.
You’re kidding right, yeah he’s kidding. Lol good one
Nope, I believe the workers should own the means of production. That is by definition, Socialism.
The current system of Social Security could even be fixed if they remove the cap / tax the rich but it is clear that most here don’t want that.
Alright, that is kind of the definition, but right now isn’t the time to push for it, there’s a fascist dictator consolidating power in the White House
