Commissioner Saul Communicates to Congress about the State of Social Security Services
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: April 26, 2021
Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security, wrote to key members of Congress to raise awareness of the resources Social Security needs to recover from the ongoing pandemic and improve service.
“Since becoming Commissioner, I have focused our actions and our resources on efforts to improve the service we provide to the millions of people who turn to us for help. I have been clear in my budget requests about what it takes to improve service and maintain the integrity of our programs: both additional frontline staff to help people now, and information technology (IT) investments to improve our future,” said Commissioner Saul. “2021 is a critical year to shape the agency for post-pandemic success, but our resource constraints will delay our recovery. I appreciate President Biden’s support of our needs with his FY 2022 budget request of nearly $14.2 billion for us, which is $1.3 billion more than what we received this year to operate our agency. No one anticipated the duration of the pandemic and the ongoing challenges it presents.”

When will the offices be open? I’ve been waiting for a replacement 1099 for over six weeks, I can’t file taxes without it, and I’m told my situation doesn’t count as “dire-need.”
It’s extremely frustrating and difficult to understand why the offices remain closed when everything else is opening.

I would just like to know who can help me. I am trying to get my retirement out of my union but I have to have a form ssa-7050-fa, which I filled out and sent it by registered mail Nov. 2. I paid the fee they said it would be 120 days. Well its been 191 days and nothing. I have sent 2 registered letters and I have called all the numbers you have given me and no one can help me. In Febuary they told me i can only call every 30 days. Each time they say someone will be getting back to me but that never happens. They cannot even tell me if they have the paperwork and if someone is working on it. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever encountered. I just do not get what is going on. I realize we have a pandemic but come on. I am beside myself that no one can help me. What are people like me suppose to do?

Stop telling people to call when you know they won’t answer. The SSA is full of excuses! COVID is the excuse for employees not returning to work! Can we all never return to work? Excuses, excuses!

Resend your form via signature required it’s on their end and doing so they have violated their own policies see if you can do it over internet or via phone due to COVID 19 it would fall under rate special circumstances

It is over but it’s the SSA ‘s excuse for not opening! I’ have read their employees like working remotely! Too bad! Nobody cares what they like! Your job is at the office so get there or get fired! That should be the policy!

The special attention of the president and all officials to vaccination is very important. Matlabi site is researching how to improve and prevent the spread of Corona virus. https://www.matlabi.ir
