The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has said it is not closing any Social Security field offices after a U.S. senator said the unofficial government agency is intentionally attempting to stop Americans receiving benefits.
SocialSecurity is not closing any field sites in Georgia or elsewhere. The confusion likely arises from the closure of 5 permanent remote hearing sites (PRSs)—single rooms within field sites used for hearings.
“Since most hearings are now virtual, these PRSs are unnecessary. Field sites remain open, and Social Security has no plans to close any public-facing sites nationwide.”
