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.”
Go to YouTube and search for “Sam Seder Social Security”, and then realize why he’s making this face at you right now.
You mean the person who literally proves my point that it is unsustainable as it is right now?
He literally states that the trust fund is going to run out in the 2030s and gives wealth disparity as the reason. I agree and it is a problem that can be fixed, all you have to do is to remove the cap, of course the MAGAites is not going to slightly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and they aren’t going to create a reasonable replacement (like Singapore CPF).
