last week that Republicans’ attack on the Social Security Administration is their “first step” toward cutting benefits.
“Social Security is one thing the American people should be able to count on, yet the House Republican bill would disrupt access to those earned benefits,” said Larson. “Already, years of underfunding, combined with the Covid-19 pandemic, have significantly worsened Social Security Administration’s service, and led to lengthy delays during a time of rising need.”
