SS Phone Services
Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer claims that “Musk and DOGE are pressuring the Social Security Administration to cut phone services that millions rely on to help get their Social Security.”
IN FACT, SSA has explained, “Recent reports in the media that Social Security plans to eliminate telephone services are inaccurate. SSA is increasing its protection for America’s seniors and other beneficiaries by eliminating the risk of fraud associated with changing bank account information by telephone.” This is because 40% of SS “direct deposit fraud is associated with someone calling SSA to change direct deposit bank information.”
