Google Wave wont even exist a year from now, Google has already ceased development, essentially admitting it was a failure. <br /><br />SSA field offices may be eliminated when teabagging republicans repeal the entire social security program in 2012 (or even as soon as next year), but they wont be replaced by Google Wave or anything else online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-65109725458896039742010-09-21T07:32:05.658-04:002010-09-21T07:32:05.658-04:00Great.

They don't seem to remember that SSA administers SSI which often necessitates face-to-face interaction with poor, homeless, and mentally ill individuals including periodic redeterminations of eligibility. This is not a small part of the SSA workload in field offices. In addition, a large percentage of SSA and SSI payments go to representative payees who would somehow be approved online so that anyone could get benefits for anyone else without any way to protect the rights of citizens who are no longer competent to manage their funds. <br /><br />I'd like to see a hearing conducted via Google Wave as this proposes. <br /><br />The report makes incorrect conclusions based on graphs with misunderstood correlations between IT investment and staffing. <br /><br />It never talks about providing customer service in the manner the public wants it, or who would be on the other end of video conferences if SSA eliminates public service positions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
