SS Mistakes

DOGE has made staffing cuts to an already understaffed Social Security Administration (SSA). President Trump, without evidence, accused the SSA of paying benefits to deceased individuals. The SSA's review revealed errors in declaring living people as dead, leading to wrongful termination of benefits.  Today, an old client of ours called us because the SSA terminated his benefits because they said he was working, and he was not.  They also told him he had an overpayment of $34,000.  These errors, and others like them, cause significant inconvenience for affected claimants, who must waste their time trying to get the SSA's mistakes fixed.
