Part of the reason for that, says Jim Allsup, who employs former SSA employees at his Illinois-based company Allsup Inc., is that there is “an inherent conflict-of-interest between protecting the disability trust fund and providing the appropriate level of service to the claimant.”
It looks as if they realized at the last minute that they needed to cut a few seconds off the piece and this little bit got cut, but they forgot to change the transcript to reflect this last bit of editing. So, Jim Allsup misses his opportunity for face time on national television.
We know that Allsup was behind the USA Today article on Social Security backlogs that appeared a few months ago. It is unclear whether Allsup persuaded CBS to do this piece or just helped them after they got started. Either way, it is clear that Allsup is engaged in an impressively successful public relations campaign that helps Allsup but which is also of public benefit.

I read the comment here or elsewhere that Nosscr should have been included in the coverage. I wonder if anyone has contacted CBS to complain about unfair competitive advantage that equates with free advertising.
To clarify, Jim Allsup was never interviewed on camera and knew in advance that he would not be included in the broadcast.
