Thank you for posting this. So as to not scare everyone there was this;

The changes do not apply to those collecting or applying for Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Oddly enough I am on SSI and was supposed to get a deposit for back pay on the 28th and still nothing, Im calling shortly but when I called the other day it told me there was a two hour hold and then it just hung up on me. Ill prob have to go in person again.

Yes, I should have been clearer in my post about SSI and SSDI. Can't seem to edit it. The changes may not affect SSI or SSDI, but spending hours on the phone certainly does.

This is going to make things harder on people that don't drive and/or live far away from SS offices, especially as they are going to close a lot of them
