flag Social Security to cut in-person visits by half in 2026, raising access concerns.

flag The Social Security Administration plans to cut field office visits by half in fiscal year 2026, targeting 15 million in-person visits, down from over 31.6 million the previous year, as part of modernization efforts under the Trump administration. flag The shift emphasizes online and phone services to improve efficiency, though advocates warn reduced access may disproportionately impact seniors, rural residents, and those without reliable internet. flag At least 7,000 workers have been laid off, and some offices have closed due to staffing and maintenance issues, raising concerns about equitable access to benefits despite the agency’s claim that in-person services will remain available.
