Agency for older adults and people with disabilities to be shuttered under #doge HHS cuts
The ACL was established in 2012 to bring together under one agency federal programs for older adults and people with disabilities that were previously administered by multiple organizations within HHS and in other agencies. Its
In fiscal 2022, the ACL provided more than 261 million meals to older adults, assistance such as respite care to more than 1.5 million family caregivers, and independent-living services to nearly 250,000 people with #disabilities #disabled #medicare #medicaid #USPol
DOGE's press Release claims, "This reorganization will not impact Medicare and Medicaid services" but experts and beneficiaries are skeptical .
28/ BREAKING, Social Security again pushed back its timeline for In-person identity proofing for people unable to use their personal my Social Security account for certain services will be effective April 14, 2025.
The Trump - DOGE created chaos has received great pushback and is constantly changing, making seniors and the disabled nervous.
Under the updated policy beginning April 14, 2025, individuals applying for Social Security #Disability Insurance (SSDI), #Medicare, or Supplemental Security Income ( #SSI ) who cannot use a personal my Social Security account can complete their claim entirely over the telephone without the need to come into an office.
Individuals who cannot use their personal my Social Security account to apply for benefits will only need to prove their identity at a Social Security office if applying for Retirement, Survivors, or Auxiliary (Spouse or Child) benefits
People who do not already have a my Social Security account can create one at www.ssa.gov/myaccount/. It's beneficial whether you receive benefits or not.

"We will not allow you to move this country into an oligarchy," Sanders pledged, speaking directly to Trump. "We're not going to allow you and your friend Mr. Musk and the other billionaires to wreak havoc on the working families of this country. No, you're not going to destroy Social Security. You're not going to destroy Medicaid. You're not going to destroy the Veterans administration."
@GottaLaff People WILL care when their Social Security checks stop along with their Medicare payments. Many people have their monthly Medicare payments deducted directly from Social Security. A double whammy. #socialsecurity #medicare #ssa
“Friends, we indicated that if we had the House, the Senate and the presidency, there were certain things that we would do. Well in 2021, we had the House, the Senate, and the presidency.”
During his #Austin visit on Wednesday, Congressman Al Green was sharply critical of the failures of the #Democrats and called for mass protest in Washington, D.C. in response to #Trump and #DOGE's attack of vital social services and government agencies. https://austinfreepress.org/no-capitulation/
New today from me at Austin Free Press: Congressman Al Green visited #Austin on Wednesday afternoon, to talk about getting kicked out of the House and censured for protesting Donald #Trump.
He called for millions of people to march on Washington, D.C. to protest cuts to vital services, #DOGE, and our current constitutional crisis. https://austinfreepress.org/no-capitulation/
