Social Security Says It Will Stop Accepting Bank Changes Over the Phone

[Kruska]

The Trump and DOGE cabal are attempting to kill social security by a thousand cuts.

This is just one more.

I kind of disagree - Trump and his cabinet clowns rightfully want to set up barriers/checkpoints that would eliminate missuses of social benefits - that they simply don't know - or don't want to go about this in a "professional" manner is understood.

Which raises the question again and again; are "they" really interested to change anything to the benefit of the American people, or solely to gain/gather support by their MAGA cretins - so that they can continue and make the way clear towards endlessly stashing their own pockets, via ensuring a Congressional majority that enables them to do whatever they want - aka break and defy any existing laws.

So the question to me is: what is the GOP doing to reign in those MAGA cretins and it's elitist cabinet ? right now absolutely nothing, just as their useless Democratic pendants. The entire future of the USA presently lies solely onto the shoulders of Judges.!!

So as an American, maybe you can tell me, how many of these Republican voters would you define to be MAGA cretins?

Enough that they're going to stop accepting such bank changes over the phone.

They're creating a problem that doesn't exist to remove people from the rolls.

How is requiring an in person visit to change your bank info going to remove anyone from the rolls?

A much-needed security measure finally implemented.

A lot of people lost their benefits to this method when scammers changed banks for direct deposit.

​

The U.S. Social Security Administration will no longer let people change their bank information in calls with the agency, it said on March 12.​

​

The Social Security Administration (SSA) said it is retaining all other phone services, describing reports that alleged otherwise as 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," the agency said in a statement.​

​

The SSA analyzed Social Security fraud related to direct deposits and discovered that about 40 percent is related to an individual calling the agency and changing direct deposit bank information.​

​

"SSA's current protocol of simply asking identifying questions by telephone is no longer enough to prevent fraud," the agency said.​

​

People who wish to change their bank account information on record with the SSA have two options moving forward. They can use the SSA's online portal or visit a Social Security office in person to prove their identity and then change the information.​

​

"These methods align with most major banks. All other SSA telephone services remain unchanged," the agency said.​

​

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been assisting government agencies with rooting out fraud, said on the social media platform X that the changes will be implemented starting on March 29.​

​

"Social Security is protecting our seniors by ensuring bank accounts aren't changed with little to no authentication," DOGE said.​

​

Phone services that remain available include changing one's address and phone number, as well as requesting an update on the status of benefit applications.​

Of course, this has nothing to do with fraud. This is about making social security suck more in hopes of privatizing it so that his fellow ologares can profit off of it.

How often are old people legitimately changing their bank info?

 

[Lesh]

What if they are over staffed and don't need so many workers and offices? Do you have any evidence that's not the case? The Govt seems to think it is the case.

“The government “?

You mean some 20 something incel dweebs
