Thank you for sharing this story. Very important for us all to expect and demand accountability from our government institutions, and advocate for those impacted by DOGE-inflicted dysfunction. Incredible that SSA couldn’t or wouldn’t offer any explanation.
It’s because their Wunderkind don’t know COBOL language (invented by Rear Admiral Grace Hopper) whose accomplishments they had scrubbed and allegedly removed from military museums? Ah real genius- with a hard G 🙄🤦♀️
Ughhhh! This would be me, too. I'm a US citizen, born of US citizen parents, but was born overseas because of my dad's job. Hmmmm...I received my March check, but now I'm worried about April and beyond. 😡
Fortunately, I woke up this morning to find that my March payment had arrived by direct deposit.
Can't tell from a single news report what's going on, but I'm worried. If even just a minority of Social Security recipients start failing to receive payments, get ready for the Wheelchair Rebellion.
In no way do I want this to happen vulnerable ppl, but if it mobilizes Americans to get 100 000’s—or millions—in the streets to put a stop to this regime, then it’s a fight worth having. It will only get worse for everyone but the ++rich.
nice little scam they set up, you can't even read those messages if you don't agree to the NEW TOS and absolve them of any "wrongful acts of others" ie
Non citizens often pay into the Social Security system, but even a lifelong American citizen has to retain a lawyer to achieve the SS they are entitled to. The SSA does not make achieving your benefits easily or quickly.

Couple different people now, right. If this becomes a pattern I'd also like to know if there's any record of the people affected having supported Kamala / Dems.
I called to request clarification about a letter. After 3 hours I got a snippy woman who refused to do anything but read the letter to me. When I told her I didn't need her to read it to me she said "well then I don't know what you want from me" and hung up.
They need to file a police report for theft, including identity theft. If the amount is large enough, it could be grand theft larceny. Also, someone needs to file a class action lawsuit against the Heritage Foundation for Project 2025.
Sorry dude, you just lost your SS to christofascist utopian euphoria. The christofascists wet dream of punishing the libs and smaller gov't are coming true.
This is horrible reporting by the local news. There’s likely a reasonable explanation that doesn’t involve a conspiracy theory about Elon. I hate Trump and musk as much as the next person, but this is just fear mongering without basis
It happens for a variety of reasons, but Elon stopping one persons benefits isn’t it. This is like if the news ran a story about Hunter Biden stopping somebody’s ssa benefits 3 years ago. It would sound insane.
In fact there have been quite a few that have been tied directly to DOGE. so you don't need a conspiracy theory. i said explicitly that we can't know specifically what happened in this case. but accounts ARE being canceled and the ability to get assistance from SSA has plummeted because of ...
2/ terminations and contract cancellations. if you've been paying attn you know this. So while we don't know specifically in this case the climate of panic among ssa recipients is based on hard facts.
100% agree people have legit fears based on the insane things Elon etc says. But I don’t think it’s believable that the doge kids are turning off benefits one at a time.
Yep the only reason startups do this is because the purpose isn’t to function and make profit. It’s to IPO with the promise of big profits sometime in the future.
Part of me thinks this is the issue that will cause the dam to break. The other part thinks MAGA’s brains are so cooked they’ll celebrate losing their benefits if it somehow owns the libs.
It could go either way -I live in Oklahoma- and you can’t penetrate their solid bone heads- trumpers double down on Trump- independents are disinformed by our fifth column of a press. And then the churches pile it on 🤦♀️-I don’t know which way that guy voted -just saying
My husband passed 3 yrs ago & SSA sent him an extra check. So I left it there & they took it back. No problem. I took his name off the checking account. But when DOGE went in the Social Security system, I closed the account and went to a totally different bank to avoid issues - DOGE is terrible

Most of us pay social security tax on every penny we ever earn, but not the top %.
If we eliminate this cap and cap benefits paid out, that will save social security.
I think I capture something close to the truth:
49th out of 50 in Education
Voted Trump!
He had the same FACT as every American voter
350,000 Lies!
