Accidental Or Intentional?

     I check in each month to see the number and total amount of fees that Social Security paid the prior month. Social Security has been posting that data for many years. Now, that website is gone with no explanation. It's not just that. Social Security had posted contact information for its payment centers. That website is gone as well.
     This could be the result of some reorganization in Social Security's web presence but it would have to be a clumsy reorganization. There should be links to new URLs. There's no sign that I can find that these have been moved to new locations. They've just disappeared.
     Have other useful parts of Social Security's web presence disappeared? Does anyone know what's going on? If these have been removed intentionally, I'd have to call it a rather petty act.

  1. This seems to fit with SSA's failure to typically answer the phone at the payment centers or to return messages left. They behave as if they have no one to answer to in their actions or failures to act.

  2. It is a rather small spud compared to taking down all of the climate change data, but hey, if this motivates you, so be it. Enjoy the indignation.

  3. Perhaps your statistics can be found at https://www.ssa.gov/policy/index.html

  4. I think it's very funny and illuminating that the PSCs are so shoddy when it comes to customer service, making difficult decisions correctly, etc. yet every single OHO brass person touts their time in Operations--almost always specifically referring to times when they were a manager in a PSC--as showing how good they are at running things!

    Yeah, you all sure can move a lot of work in Operations but...

  5. You know 2:32 we seem to be dealing with an administration that wishes to act arbitraliy and under the cover of darkness. Perhaps it is our duty to try to expose everything they do if we can. Sunlight might be the only thing that saves us.

  6. Personally, I would rather have the full Mueller Report.
