From a Cleveland television station:
The Social Security office in Middleburg Heights, on Pearl Rd., is temporarily closed due to a raccoon infestation.
People trying to take care of business Wednesday at the office found locked doors and signs stating the closure. ...
Michael Murphy, President of Local 3448 of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), said problems with raccoons inside the office have been building.
“These employees were reporting concerns of noises above the ceiling as far back as January,” Murphy said. “The staff said five raccoons were removed from the building as of yesterday.” ...
I've had racoons in my attic. Getting rid of them is expensive. Keeping them from coming back may be even more expensive.

Perfect place to set up roots since half of the SSA employees are teleworking!
Exactly!!! Maybe the raccoons can do the work?
We certainly need the help processing your duplicate 1696’s every couple of weeks.
The duplicates we have to keep submitting because every time we call for information we are told they have no record of us being the appointed rep?
Yeah, it's not like we're re-sending the 1696 repeatedly for fun.
The duplicate fax submissions of the 1696 do absolutely nothing. Nothing. It just goes into the same cue, assigned to the same person who received the first one. They haven’t processed it yet because they are answering phones between interviews, a result of you and the public complaining about the wait times when calling the office. Or they are calling people in the lobby because some people need to come into the office because they are not able to utilize other means of conducting business. Or they are checking voice mail and listening to 10 different messages from the same person over a 30 minute time span. Or responding to managers about numerous lists, some of which aren’t due for weeks. The list goes on and on…. That’s why I quit two years ago. Management, reps and the public will never be satisfied which is extremely frustrating when someone is really trying to do their job. The last two years have been wonderful. I should have left a decade ago.
They're very cute and rather smart, but they are also more likely to carry rabies than many other animals. Good luck with getting them removed, but they do need to be removed.
Here's a tip, if you send the exact same 1696 ten times and it's not being processed, there might be something wrong with it. Like it might have a digital signature. Because it's always a digital signature. Stop using digital signatures.
