WASHINGTON POST: "Social Security offices critical to disability benefits hit breaking point"

12/29/2022

 

The Washington Post cites state-based Social Security offices have seen an increase in applications since the beginning of the pandemic -- at the same time that offices experienced shut-downs, forcing higher work loads on disability examiners who have been without resources needed to process claims effectively.

​"A former examiner in Florida, explaining why he quit in September after 12 years, described the job this way: 'It was all about the numbers. It was the sheer amount of work. We didn’t care if you were denied or approved, we just wanted the cases out.'"
