Among the current Social Security recipients I know who have never used a computer or smartphone a single time in their entire lives: my father-in-law; my stepfather; my great-aunt; my late grandmother's best friend; my one law partner's mom; another law partner's mom; probably a few sitting judges.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

There used to be a "I'm helping someone else who is with me" option. If you use the "not with me" option SSA has to mail a copy to the applicant for signature confirmation
Efficiency!
