NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: New Social Security rules will create hurdles for millions of seniors, report finds
Changes to the Social Security Administration will create more hurdles for seniors and people with disabilities. People will no longer be able to call Social Security to apply or make any changes to their account. Instead, they will have to either travel to a Social Security office (which could be a 45 mile trip for some people) or do it online. These imposed changes are meant to " further safeguard Social Security records and benefits against fraudulent activity."
