Trump Appointee Aims to Dismantle Social Security
Acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek reportedly ordered plans for a 50% agency workforce reduction, potentially closing local field offices.

The planned cuts are opposed by advocates and lawmakers who warn of significant delays and denials of benefits, citing the already strained agency resources. Several regional SSA commissioners have already resigned in protest.
