Anyone know if this is true? That every social security must prove their identity?

[Jack Valentino]

60. An article I read today said that "some" will have to verify in person,

but some who already have SS accounts online "may not" have to appear in person....
All the information on this that I have found is a little vague, so far....


What is NOT vague, is that this administration wants to WRECK the Social Security program, IMHO--
by firing workers and closing offices and making everything much more difficult.
They maintain that they "will not cut benefits"---
but this is a "back-door method" to accomplish the same result
through "rules"

Personally, I just got accepted for early retirement the first of this month, which took three months (rather than one),
received payment for two months, and am due for my first "regular payment" in mid-April....

These stories today about required "in-person verification" are indeed alarming,
as I don't have my car on the road at present... and was relying on credit
and very small internet survey earnings to get me through to
my anticipated first SS payment in mid-April....

I do have the SS online account, and hope that will suffice to prevent the necessity of reporting
in person to an S.S. office--- but I know that one of my older sisters who has been on S.S. disability
for many years, certainly does not have any such account, doesn't drive,
is mentally disabled and has moved away from the Lansing Michigan SS office...

There should be an extreme uproar about this new "requirement",
if it is true!
