Disability advocates are suing the Social Security Administration over “reckless and devastating” changes imposed by the Trump administration that they say are undermining the agency’s ability to serve beneficiaries.
The lawsuit filed early this month in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia comes after the agency announced it would shed 7,000 of its 57,000 workers, close its Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity and its Office of Transformation, consolidate regional offices and require that more services be handled in person.”
