he Social Security Administration has notified employees that it will be making "significant" cuts to its workforce, a move that Democratic lawmakers contend could impact services to Social Security recipients on Long Island.
The Trump Administration is preparing to lay off at least 7,000 Social Security Administration employees from its workforce of 60,000, according to The Associated Press, citing an individual familiar with the agency’s plans who is not authorized to speak publicly. A second person said the cuts could be as high as 50%.
