Learn about the big changes coming to Social Security that could require millions to visit an office in person. Find out how this new rule affects you and what steps you can take to avoid long delays.
In today’s update, millions of Social Security recipients will soon face a major change: no more phone updates for certain account changes. If you can’t verify your identity online, you’ll need to visit an SSA office in person, which could lead to long wait times due to staffing cuts and office closures. These new rules are designed to prevent fraud, but they could make it harder for many people to access their benefits. Learn how this will impact direct deposits, identity verification, and appointment scheduling, plus steps you can take to avoid frustrating delays. This impacts retirees including SSI (Supplemental Security Income), SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), survivors, VA, and spousal benefits. Discover why Social Security is making these changes and how you can stay ahead to protect your benefits. If you or a loved one rely on Social Security, this is information you need to know before the changes take effect.
