In the face of opposition from AARP and an outcry from older Americans, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is delaying a plan to end applications for most types of benefits by phone and exempting people with disabilities from the new rules when they do go into effect.

The agency said March 26 that a new policy requiring many applicants to complete claims online or in person rather than by phone, announced eight days earlier and initially set to take effect at the end of March, will be ➡️ delayed until April 14. ⬅️

Hmmm, in my very humble opinion looks like AARP is saying THEY were part of this change in what was planned. Interesting!

Well, it is still going forward per this article.

Maybe it will be delayed AGAIN.  🤔

Take care,
