There is going to be an angry public with the implementation of this new withholding policy from $10 to $50. This comes at a time where affordability is getting worse.
$40 extra causes homelessness? Please my gym membership is three times that. People can afford to pay a little extra for overpayments they likely caused. Collecting $10 a month was a joke. I think minimum would be about $200/mo—I pay more per month in streaming services.
It looks like this change only affects partial withholding requests without an SSA-634 financial statement. As a result, claimants who can't afford the $50 minimum installment simply need to fill out and send in a financial statement.
In other words, more useless paperwork that nobody still working at SSA has time to process anymore.
I see parallels here with A Christmas Carol. Instead of the ghosts of Christmas’ past, present and future coming to haunt Scrooge’s choices that harm the poor, it will be the voters of midterms future.
McDonald's is losing its low-income customers. Economists call it a symptom of the stark wealth divide.
The struggle of the Golden Arches — long synonymous with cheap food for the masses — reflects a larger trend upending the consumer economy and making "affordability" a hot policy topic. McDonald's executives say the higher costs of restaurant essentials, such as beef and salaries, have pushed food prices up and driven away lower-income customers who are already being squeezed by the rising cost of groceries, clothes, rent and child care.

Why am I not surprised. This comes from Great Gatsby and 300 million ballroom administration. 💃
This minimum payment requirement of $50 came just in time for the holidays…. UNBELiEVABLE!

Another compassionate-yet-fair move from COSS Frank Bisignano. My office has been very impressed with Mr. Bisignano. Really has his eye on the ball.
SSA guards will be working overtime with irate claimants. Personally, I don’t blame them. Many will be a step closer to homelessness.
Do you work in a office?

Rest assured Commissioner Frankenstein doesn't care one bit about the people dependent on Social Security!

Wow some antionetette esque vibes from this one. Yup-for “the poors” 40 bucks could be a big deal. FFS what a turd
My guess is this individual attended the Great Gatsby party and has no clue what’s happening on planet earth. Homelessness is spiking everywhere.
Is this a joke? You are comparing a gym membership and streaming services to putting food on the table? You need a reality check.
Enjoy your Gold Gym membership and streaming the Disney channels.
And exactly how is taking more money from poor people without due process compassionate?
Every dollar counts in this economy…

Cruelty is the point. It always is the point. Every day. Make it as difficult as possible. Punish.
