To make all that SS "fraud" real. They'll just use they to claim all the people who aren't able to show up were really fraudulent all along.

etc. If you are not doing anything to your SS, leaving everything the same, then all is well.

were new to SS, or changing something to your SS, e.g., mailing address, then you had to do this verification crap.

I’ll wait for my DUE PROCESS — a letter from the government. And goddam them if they want to communicate with me online without first verifying their identity in person. It works both ways.

and I worked there as a reporter in the 1980s. It's a completely legitimate news source.

I've been collecting Social Security for some ten years now. What has changed?

Get them away from the systems they know NOTHING about.

Fuck these assholes trying to scare the elderly with their bullshit.

ETA: The second link in this attempted grift goes to a site called tododisca.com, which states that this applies to "All Social Security recipients" and "...from April, all beneficiaries who register for the first time or have to make a change will have to verify their identity in person at official offices in order to continue receiving monthly payments." The same page also provides useful links to the always helpful "here's how to get your additional $4,000 SS check" scam. Once again, fuck them to hell.
