Don't Believe Everything You See about Social Security. Please.

107. Very uninformed and Damaging Post.

What you state has never been true. You are only speaking for yourself, from a very uninformed place. Sometimes it takes years, especially for people with disabilities, to start to receive benefits. Calm and silence is neither useful nor constructive. Ever. In any political or civil discourse. Most people that depend on SSA or SSD would starve or go without medications if their checks were late for even 2 weeks. It can take years to straighten out SSA claims.

"I also know people who have just filed for their social security benefits recently. They have already heard that they will start getting benefits shortly, just as it has been for years.

Sure you have.

I highly recommend that people directly call their elected reps, including Senators, House members, Governors, state health commissioners now and frequently to let them now they will not sit back and wait and see if the Russian Puppet does.

Some people just naturally want to get as many people stirred up and worried as they can. That makes them feel more important. Don't be taken in by alarmists trying to scare you. You can go find out what's going on for yourself and check other sources.

And some people just naturally want to feel important by talking about alarmists "taking them in" What does that even mean? You have zero clue as to the magnitude of the changes being made. The FDA has already cancelled vaccine approval meetings. You may not be able to even get medications you need to stay alive. Please don't tell anyone to stay calm. It's none of your business.

Nursing homes, pharmacies, home health care aides, and many businesses that depend on stable incomes of their customers don't have the luxury to speculate on what will happen. Many of them are already being laid off. And we are all aware of the number of people that have been laid off already at tghe federal level. And all the people that have lost their jobs.

If you trust anything on the CMS website at this point you are truly oblivious to what is going on. You know President Musk has already scrubbed entire sections of the SS websites - after stealing the data, right?
