Social security management to submit 7,000 jobs. What can we expect?

The ax fell into the social security management.

At the agency there is a massive restructuring, which will lead to “significant reduction in attitudes”, SSA said in a press release. Offices and employees who are not specially prescribed by law can be first in the hacking block, warned.

It is unclear how the 72.5 million beneficiaries, including pensioners and children, will be affected by retirement and disability, but some politicians, political experts and advisors for social security advisors say that the Americans could have a slowdown in processing performance applications and longer waiting for SSA help.

“Half of all social security employees guarantee that seniors will stop, that their earned performance will arrive on time and in full,” said Ron Wyden, member of the Senate Financing Committee, Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) in a statement. “Such a plan will lead to closures of the field office that meet seniors in rural communities the hardest.”

How massive will the staff for social security be?

SSA announced that it has set a personnel goal of 50,000, of the approximately 57,000 employees of the agency now. “The rumor about a reduction of 50% is wrong,” it said, referring to previous reports up to half of the staff.

The agency assumes that most of the reduction will result from retirement, buyouts and resignation. The rest can come from layoffs that could include the abolition of organizations and positions or new allocations to another job within the agency.

The agencies must submit their discharge plans to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by March 13. No date was set if the employment reductions could begin the plan after the approval of the OPM.

The number of regional offices is reduced from a “no longer sustainable” 10 to four, said SSA. Seven deputy organizations of the deputy commissioner level will take place in the headquarters.

Before the SSA reorganization on Friday, according to the website of the Ministry of Government Efficiency, office income for social security locations across the country were terminated. The location shows rental agreements for dozens of social security in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina and other countries.

What does SSA say about employees?

The agency said that employees could involuntarily be assigned to business-critical direct service positions (e.g. external offices, teleservice centers, processing centers) from non-mission of critical positions and require retraining.

If the employees would rather leave, SSA offers early retirement and voluntary purchases if justified, between 15,000 and 25,000 US dollars. Those who want a voluntary separation have to choose by March 14, and those who want to retire early have to choose between March 1 and December 31.

Employees can also bring a voluntary re -assignment into a business -critical position by expressing their interest until March 14th.

Why does the social security management cut jobs?

The step is part of President Donald Trump’s promise to reduce the federal government. Other agencies that have already seen cuts are IRS, centers for the control of the disease, the Ministry of Health and Human Services and the national health institutes.

“These steps prioritize customer service by redundant management levels that reduce reducing work and the potential new allocation of employees to customer service positions,” said SSA.

There may also be more reductions. SSA said that it would continue to “look for efficiency and other ways to reduce costs in all output categories, including information technology and expenses for contractors”.

How can Americans deal with a reduced agency?

Chuck Czajka, a certified social security, the strategists with macro money concepts in Stuart, Florida, claims:

Have patience. In the case of reduced staff, the administration probably leads to longer waiting times and delays.
Create an online profile. If you have not yet created online SSA account, this may be the best time to do this. An online account can help you appreciate future advantages, manage services that you have already received, or give you a status update for your application.
Apply for the services as early as possible. Roads at the SSA can affect the time required to approved your services. You can apply for services for up to four months before you expect it. If you apply as early as possible, you can make sure that you are available if necessary.
Find a social security expert. If you feel uncomfortable when you apply the SSA yourself or communicate with the SSA, look for support from a social security expert who can help you. You should be able to answer many of your questions and limit your need for help from the SSA.
