Office Closures

Auburn, New York will soon lose its Social Security field office. This is making the local Congressman and the local newspaper unhappy. Social Security blamed the closure on budget constraints as well as changing demographics.

One might expect occasional Social Security office closures regardless of the budget situation, as some areas of the country lose population and others gain. It is unclear whether budget constraints will lead to more Social Security office closures in the future. Office closures would make Congressional representatives unhappy.
