Let's see if they can get Web TA to not crash the whole day every single timesheet certifying day first...
What does this have to do with SSA? WebTA is a webapp running from the Depatment of the Interior...of things you can blame on SSA, that's not one of them...
well actually you can, if they had done even the smallest iota of due diligence they would have a found out why they should have never agreed to this system
And there are plenty of other IT problems to complain about. WebTA is a joke, as is the new "enhancements" to our rep payee system and the web-based pages within MSSICS. I fear the day that this archaic system completely crashes.
Congress should be calling these people on the carpet constantly on all kinds of issues going on inside the agency. Without more scrutiny and oversight by outsiders, aren't TPTBs just basically free to run the place like their own kingdom, rewarding the numerous obsequious supplicants who kowtow to them?
@around 1:40 into the session, the committee chair asks to clarify about a large scale identity theft resulting in $20M dollars stoled. The SSA officials say it was not a cyber security problem. Nobody asked or clarified that the hundreds of accounts that were established whether they came from the same IP address, did the individual use the same bank account. Let's get to the details.

Mr.Klopp and his Cloud ideas are not good for the agency.
