Social Security Under Siege: Chaos, Cuts, and a Fight for Retirement Security
Internal cuts and policy changes at the Social Security Administration (SSA), driven by external forces, are causing widespread chaos and threaten the agency’s viability. These actions, including thousands of job cuts and office closures, are occurring despite a record number of beneficiaries and already low staffing levels. Critics argue these changes are poorly conceived and will severely impact service delivery, potentially leading to a “death spiral.” The changes are being implemented despite claims of already high agency efficiency and minimal fraud.
