The nearest SS office to us is a joke, they might as well close it. They simply do not give in person appointments. The doors to the building are locked and windows are covered so you can’t even look in to see what TV shows they are watching or if they are snorting coke or just smoking weed.

To get question answered one must use the phone, be put on hold for an endless amount of time, only to get someone that will schedule a phone appointment at a later date.

I recall the days when a person could just walk into the SS office and talk to a real person.

SSA can let their phones ring without answering them from a central location just as easily as they can from a plethora of local offices ...

“has sparked fears among experts and beneficiaries that benefits may be delayed this year and recipients may struggle to get a hold of their checks.”

remember how the “experts” guaranteed twitter would crash and burn when Elon fired 80% of the useless drones there?

I’ve been to a SS office once in my life and it was when I lost my card and need to get a replacement. That was 30 years ago but these days, it probably doesn’t need to be in person. Might not have been necessary back then but I was 19 and did what my dad suggested and my parents went with me to make proof of ID go as easy as possible.

Other than that, Learn to Code.

a majority of these offices which will not have their leases renewed were used for in-person hearings,

I'm not an expert but I know that in-person hearings are NOT done for issuing regular SSA benefits. They are used to determine supplemental benefits for folks claiming a disability and are usually the last resort after sometimes countless denials via snail mail. Sometimes people go years applying for SSI or SSDI.

In other words for the vast majority of folks in-person hearings are a rarity.

@SocialSecurity
is not closing any field sites in Georgia or elsewhere.

The confusion likely arises from the closure of 5 permanent remote hearing sites (PRSs)—single rooms within field sites used for hearings. Since most hearings are now virtual, these PRSs are unnecessary. Field sites remain open, and Social Security has no plans to close any public-facing sites nationwide.

According to the SSA, more than 72.5 million of Americans receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, including some of the most vulnerable individuals in U.S. society.

Ghosts, long-registered Democrats, and assorted Rip Van Winkles hardest hit.

Social Security Offices Expected To Close In 2025

Not a problem all other offices can deal with it it’s not like they are over worked or back logged on anything.

Another OMG panic anti Trump movie.

To achieve maximum efficiency, we should close almost all Social Security offices—keep just one per state.

That’s all the real economic contributors of this country actually need. We’re running offices all over the place, and who’s paying for it? Hardworking Americans.

It’s a total disaster. We need to streamline, cut the nonsense, and make government work for the people who actually keep this country going.
