The Social Security Administration's tech team faces potential cuts of 50% amid already strained systems plagued by increased outages. This threatens to delay critical monthly payments that millions of seniors and vulnerable populations rely on to afford basic necessities like food. Efforts to rapidly rewrite core computer systems raise alarms of catastrophic failures that could disrupt services and erode this vital safety net. Constituents are deeply concerned about potential payment delays that could leave the nation's most vulnerable without resources for food and shelter. As a representative, you must prioritize safeguarding Social Security's operations through legislation that protects its workforce and modernizes technology infrastructure to prevent failures in delivering timely benefits.
