The Social Security Administration (SSA) is undergoing significant workforce reductions, with reports indicating that up to 50% of its employees may be laid off. This initiative coincides with a massive reorganization aimed at closing multiple offices and ending certain departments, including civil rights. Recent directives have prompted the acting leader of the SSA to implement drastic measures, including voluntary buyouts and substantial job cuts, potentially affecting around 7,000 workers. As a result, there are growing concerns about interruptions in Social Security benefits and the overall effectiveness of the agency amidst these changes.
