Social Security Mass Firings Spark Outrage: Is This the End of Retirement Benefits?
The Social Security Administration (SSA), under its current acting commissioner, is undergoing a major restructuring involving significant workforce reductions, potentially up to 50%. Employees are being offered various options, including early retirement and severance packages, to leave the agency by March 14th. This action, coupled with office closures, is raising concerns about significant delays and disruptions to benefit payments. Critics argue this dismantlement aims to privatize Social Security, jeopardizing the timely and accurate delivery of benefits to millions of Americans.
