CR Contains Nothing For Social Security

   


  The text of the Continuing Resolution to prevent a government shutdown is out. I see no additional funding for Social Security operations, not that I was expecting any.

Question--if the CR passes with no clause for SSA funding, does that mean SSA defaults to 2024 funding levels? So no increase or decrease?

Apparently Elon Musk has more power than the House leader -- who is in a text chain with Elon and Vivik. I have a hard time seeing how it would benefit Trump to have a government shutdown as he takes office in January. Its a truly brain dead political move.

Lump of coal is right, good one Charles, that made me chuckle.

Although the Republicans may not like it, SSA needs to have overtime restored immediately, for front line Operations employees.

The backlogs are growing, the public is not being served well in the Field Offices or the Payment Centers.
There is just too much to do and not enough hours to complete it.
