These steps will require millions of recipients and applicants to visit agency field offices rather than interact with agency employees over the phone.</p><p>"The AP also obtained more information about each lease on DOGE’s list through other publicly available datasets, including their addresses, the dates the leases had started and were originally expected to expire, and the landlords who own the properties."</p><p>Read more (includes a list of offices that will be closing):<br><a href="https://apnews.com/article/social-security-offices-closures-doge-trump-b2b1a5b2ba4fb968abc3379bf90715ff" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/social-secu</span><span class="invisible">rity-offices-closures-doge-trump-b2b1a5b2ba4fb968abc3379bf90715ff</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResistDOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TakeToTheStreets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TakeToTheStreets</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KillThePoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KillThePoor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KillTheElderly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KillTheElderly</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HungerGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HungerGames</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElderRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElderRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TakeCareOfThePoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareOfThePoor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialSecurityPayments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialSecurityPayments</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialSecurityAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialSecurityAdministration</span></a></p>
