We will show what we know and where it came from.
70 million Americans depend on Social Security. Cutting the staff who run it — without reducing the workload — is a choice with real consequences for real people.
Why this matters
DOGE eliminated over 7,000 SSA employees in 2025, reducing the workforce to its lowest level since the 1960s. The SSA is projecting processing delays of six months or more for disability claims and new retirement enrollments. Local field offices are closing across the country.
What’s at stake
If Congress restores funding
If cuts continue
What to say
“Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm calling from [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling about staffing cuts at the Social Security Administration and the impact on benefits processing.”
I want SSA staffing funding restored...
“70 million people depend on Social Security. Cutting the staff who run it creates real delays for retirees, disabled people, and survivors who have no other income.”
I want oversight hearings on SSA...
“Congress should demand answers from SSA leadership about projected delays and office closures. Seniors deserve accountability.”
I know someone struggling with SSA delays...
“A constituent has been waiting months for a disability determination. These are not statistics — these are people without income.”
“What is the Senator doing to restore Social Security Administration staffing and reduce delays? Thank you.”
Common questions
I'm applying for Social Security this year — will there be delays?
Yes. The SSA is warning of multi-month delays for new enrollments. Apply as early as possible and consider calling your Senator's constituent services office for help.
My disability claim has been waiting months — is that normal?
Unfortunately yes, and it's getting worse. Senators have constituent services offices that can sometimes help expedite federal agency responses.
My local SSA office closed — what do I do?
You can access many services at SSA.gov or call 1-800-772-1213. For complex issues, contact your Senator's office.
