A Message To All SSA And DDS Employees
Subject: Budget Update
Yesterday Congress passed an extension of the continuing resolution for three more weeks, and the President is expected to sign it shortly. As part of that legislation, Congress cut another $200 million from our administrative budget. We are already operating with less money than we had last year.
For the time being, we will continue with the restrictions on overtime. We hope to restore at least some overtime once Congress passes a permanent budget.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Michael J. Astrue
Commissioner
What a brilliant bunch our Members of Congress are. Sigh. I swear, they get dumber with each passing year.
