Warren Statement on New SSA Phone Policy Walkback

Washington, D.C. – Following new reporting revealing that the Social Security Administration (SSA) changed its policy of holding benefit claims made over the phone for days to check for “fraud” — which was causing a "degradation of public service” — U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:

“We sounded the alarm on Elon Musk and DOGE’s fake fraud claims — and now, the Social Security Administration is changing its policy that’s slowing down retirement claim processing based on a bunch of lies. That’s a win, and we’ll keep up the pressure to fight back against Trump and Musk’s attack on Americans’ Social Security benefits.”
