Several Social Security Administration (SSA) offices will close this year as a result of cost-cutting measures implemented by the Trump administration through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The administration is also pushing for stricter identity verification, which would require people to visit Social Security field offices in person rather than over the phone.
According to the DOGE website, a number of federal leases will be terminated. How many Social Security offices will close in Texas and beyond? Here’s what you should know.
