Dear Friend,
Yes, you read that right.
The Administration wants to push services online and slash in person traffic to Social Security Administration field offices next year by 50 percent – that would be 15 million fewer visits a year!
Rep. John Larson (CT) has introduced the Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act (H.R. 1876) to ensure that all Americans can visit Social Security in person if they need to.
Please send a message to your member of Congress urging them to co-sponsor and vote for the bill.
The Administration has systematically dismantled the Social Security Administration since day one, cutting 7,000 employees, making it harder for seniors to get their benefits, and replacing workers with ineffective AI chatbots that are difficult to use.
Even after SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano said he was committed to NOT reducing in person services, the agency further reduced staffing levels in July by deciding to shift field office employees to answering the 1-800 number.
Now they seem to be ready to deliver a crushing blow. We must stop them.
Sincerely,
Richard Fiesta
Executive Director
Alliance for Retired Americans
