Trump, Musk, and Dudek - we will never forget nor forgive the cruel devastation you wrought on the people of our agency. Voting Republican = guaranteed ruination.
The cuts to the Regional Offices and HQ are exactly the reason internal operations are completely rudderless and without direction. Regional Offices were established because SSA operations are not vanilla across the country. States do not have homogenous populations with the same customs, laws and requirements, thus operations must be tweaked specific to these states. This something that can not be centralized or shared between widely dispersed SSA FOs or replaced by Ai. Cutting and forcing reassignments of those positions with highly specialized experience resulted in absolutely no assistance for the PSCs and FOs except for more confusion, unreliable systems and operating instructions.
That explains why they're having time issues with processing my move, SIX months ago. I am about ready to move again. (mind you, these aren't short moves, one was across a SUPER large state, and this one will be across the mainland USA). They're gonna be REALLY busy counting a 3 months of spend-down receipts before being slammed with 3 more months of spend-down receipts. I own my home, so that causes a mess, apparently. Can't handle this on my own, need family help now, so the moves are necessary. They're gonna be overwhelmed when this sells and I move again before processing my first move. In total, I will have moved 8000 miles before I get to where I'm going. So the moves aren't cheap, and there are receipts out the wazoo as it is. Sorry SSA, I can't stop or delay my piddly disabled life for you. I need family help now. d:-/
When I worked as an analyst in an RO, my GS 15 center director once remarked that much if his job was forwarding emails up and down the organization. For the few years I was in the RO, several people's jobs were based on maintaining email traffic and attendance in numerous meetings. It was a drastic move, but much of the CO/RO staffing was organizational largesse.
