Social Security Subcommittee Hearing

The House Social Security Subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for May 11 on service delivery challenges facing the Social Security Administration. The Chairman of the Subcommittee, Jim McCrery issued the following statement about the hearing:

Despite growing workloads and a number of service delivery challenges, including assisting the victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes, the employees of the Social Security Administration press on, doing everything they can to effectively serve our Nation’s seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their families. The costs of providing these services are paid for by the hard-earned wages of American workers, and these workers expect and deserve responsive service. This hearing will highlight the degree to which that service is achieved, and at what cost.
