Dec. 5 Rally to protect services at Social Security Administration

Budget cuts crippling service at Social Security Administration

The Social Security Administration spends less than 1% of Trust Fund income to administer Social Security, yet as 10,000 Baby Boomers reach age 65 every day, funding has been cut.  But by the end of next summer, SSA will have lost 9,000 employees nationwide through attrition.

The poor economy and job market have led to record numbers of Americans applying for retirement, survivor, and disability benefits. Benefit application processing times are growing.

Now, sequestration and alternative budget proposals could result in $600 million to $1 billion from SSA’s current inadequate funding levels!
