The Social Security Administration recently announced a plan to cut 7,000 employees and close regional offices.
“This will represent a decrease in the workforce of more than 10 percent and will have a disastrous effect on the program,” Warren and Wayden wrote.
Social security beneficiaries may face long waiting time due to changes in advance, writing by senators. If the agency wants to reduce its employees further, “the results will be destructive,” Warren and Wayden wrote.
The senators stated that in the 1980s, 80,000 Americans did not get their benefits due to the cut in small social security workforce.
