Social Security Announces Major Cut to 'Bloated Workforce'

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced plans to reduce its workforce by 7,000 employees.

In a press release, the agency said it plans to reduce its current staff of around 57,000 to a target of 50,000

"These steps prioritize customer service by streamlining redundant layers of management, reducing non-mission critical work, and potential reassignment of employees to customer service positions," the agency said, adding that the SSA is looking to save money in areas like technology and contractor services to ensure these changes improve how Social Security services are delivered.

In 2022, the last year for which data is available, the SSA had 60,570 employees. Staff numbers had reduced steadily over the preceding 12 years, down from a peak of 70,758 workers in 2010.
