The proposed cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pose a grave threat to the stability and continuity of Social Security benefit payments for over 72.5 million Americans. Recent actions, including significant workforce reductions and the resignation of key leadership, risk crippling the Social Security Administration's (SSA) core operations. Former Commissioner Martin O'Malley warns of an imminent "collapse" of the system within the next 30 to 90 days if these measures proceed unchecked. Social Security is a vital lifeline for millions of elderly and vulnerable individuals who depend on these payments for their well-being. Any interruption or delay would create severe financial hardship. I implore you to take immediate action to protect the SSA from these detrimental cuts and safeguard the Social Security system for those who rely on it. The potential consequences of inaction are too severe to ignore.
