Folks always ask me how they can make a difference.
Find an elderly person who isn’t tech savvy. Help them confirm their Social Security information online.
Starting March 31, phone verification will no longer be allowed for Social Security benefits, and in person will be slower as offices close.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I truly thought that elected officials would always be part of the legs of Justice with the checks and balances.
Many who moved to other countries did so because their Social Security does not pay enough to live in the US
Many who can barely afford a trip to the US may NOT be able to go back home
...and not only that, earlier payments will be CLAWED BACK
Trump &Co obviously does not care about these people
...but it's THEIR LIVES, THEIR MONEY and they DO VOTE
This is something I can help with, but none of us should have to compensate for the cruelty of Musk, Trump and their ilk.
IRT on-line accounts, help them print the following records:
1. Earning record as of current date
2. SSA Verification letter
3. Social Security Statement
4. Documents required for tax purposes
*Remind/help them to check their account often.
Is this true or is it also for people already on SS ?
If you can do it now, i would.
What could possibly go wrong? SS is my only income. I will be homeless if that is blocked. Blessings on all those who voted in this tyrant and his enabler.
Not just shouting at reps who don't really give a shit but helping the people that they're damaging instead.
You’ll get your check. Try not to stress. It does take some time to get your 1st check with backpay because that amount is calculated by the SSA and not DDS.
My neighbor is 90 and I help her w/many tech issues, but I don't want to freak her out if this is only for new applicants.
"The Social Security Administration said on Tuesday that people who wanted to file for benefits or change the bank where their payments were deposited could no longer do so by phone and must first verify their identity online or go into a field office." NYT
So NOT current recipients.

As I handle her finances I said "ABSOLUTELY NOT. Who TF knows what these MFs will do? We're changing NOTHING."
Biden left us with a good system.. but once you login, it's still having to support Reagan era apps (ty(R))..
Do this before DOGE wags their virtual "big 'mumpy' balls" in your virtual face.
His minions: How about no phones?

and perhaps doesn't remember politics
before Trump's first term,
take the time to talk to them
about how things should be,
and were.
THIS might be all they remember.
Unscrupulous people can take advantage of Seniors and use their personal information to scam them.
Or can I allow them to see the Find Out phase of their Fuck Around?
I haven't spoken to my dad in about 8 years because he showed how racist he actually is, plus Trump stuff.
I told the guy that I won't speak to him or find him, even if it costs me my job
Don't wait...offer.
Make sure they're ok.
Check on them.
With meals on wheels cut and god knows what other services, they're going to need help.

This is a 10 on the Reasonable Outrage Scale

I'm trying to confirm this will Not be discontinued. Can't get thru to the Soc Sec now - even 2 hour waits.
Need help in finding the answer.
When you access your account online, you have to go thru verification. One way you need smartphone. Other SS calls u
Any help with this would be appreciated.
