US Social Security workers demand $3bn and 20,000 new hires amid service crisis

Workers at the US Social Security Administration are demanding $3 billion in additional funding and 20,000 new hires, warning of "ghost offices" and long wait times that make it increasingly difficult for Americans to access their benefits. A union official stated that "the public is going to have a harder and harder time accessing these benefits" without urgent action.
