Social Security will stop mailing cards to 3 million people, report says. It could cause chaos at field offices.
Now many more will need to go into offices in person, making the current situation even more frustrating. “The Social Security Administration has frozen a program that automatically processes Social Security cards and sends them through the mail for certain people, such as newly naturalized U.S. citizens and noncitizens granted work authorization, a newsletter reported on Thursday. The change, which could affect millions of workers, will force those people to visit field offices that are already overcrowded and understaffed.”
Be aware if you are affected, you will need to go in person.
