It was very bad remote work. I experienced the quality. I will say they tried us on slef medicare and self ss benefits enrolling. No, we aren't ready YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was just going to comment that they were working the whole time. Obviously remotely.
I wrote a letter to all high officials asking why the entire country is working and somehow running, but the ss admin doesn't? What is going on? : governor and president (ha-ha) including (The white House). after 9 months the president answered that he asked the ss administration to respond.Social Security Official Stumps for 2023 Budget Increase | ThinkAdvisor
The SSA closed its field offices in March 2020 and moved as many functions as possible to call centers and online systems.
The agency reopened the field offices April 7.
“Reentry has been smooth,” Kim said at the hearing.
But she reported that call volume and field office visit volume are extremely high.
Employee attrition levels are high, and the remaining employees say they feel their workloads are unreasonably heavy, Kim added.
I agree with you Bob, they need to suck it up.Most (if not all) federal employees are paid even when the office is closed due to govt shutdown, budget concerns, etc.
People in the private sector were not paid during the 2+ year lockdown unless they were allowed to work remote. Many private sector jobs have completely vanished, never to return.
SSA employees need to suck it up.

Some folks live in their own world, and really have little understanding of how the private sector works. Government employees are mostly sheltered from the real world and have little appreciation for low paid workers, no benefits, who went for weeks/months without a paycheck. Unemployment was not enough to sustain
Many government employees can't cut it in a world of performance evaluations and accountability.
If SSA/Medicare can't get their shit together it needs to be privatized.
In my city many of the govt jobs are on the rail or bus line and they cater to low education workers who are looking for a job for life with benefits
I don't know what it is Travis, but from my POV it's worse than just not being agile.
I've lost track of how many people I had to send to their Congressional Reps to get stuff moving on their Part B enrollment. That's ridiculous. And these were all US Citizens, born inside the US, whose only issue was that they worked past their 65th IEP.
