This is exactly what happens when you let bean counters run the government. You can’t run a place like the Social Security Administration like a fast-food restaurant. My mother-in-law just spent three hours on hold only to be disconnected. They cut the staff who actually answer the phones and now my father, who is 74 and paid into this system his whole life, got a letter saying his benefits are ‘delayed pending identity verification.’ There is no one to call and no one to walk him through it. The ‘social security administration staffing cuts’ are not saving money; they are creating a disaster where grandma and grandpa can’t pay for their medication. Using common sense, you don't fire the people who process the checks if you want the checks to go out. This is chaos, plain and simple.
