Social Security Administration Offers Receipts To Dispute WaPo Hit Job

The Social Security Administration is disputing a Washington Post report that claims the agency and system got worse under President Donald Trump.

The Washington Post published a story on Tuesday based on “internal documents and interviews with 41 current and former employees, advocates and customers” about how the system has suffered in both “responsiveness and trust” under the Trump administration. According to email correspondences and statements shared with the Caller, the Social Security Administration disputed much of the “findings” to the outlet.

“After our transparent and thorough responses, it is disappointing that the Washington Post was unwilling to include any facts that contradicted the politically-driven narrative against the Trump Administration,” a Social Security spokesperson told the Caller.

“The Social Security Administration under President Trump’s leadership is serving more Americans than ever before at quicker speeds, and meeting customers where they want to be served. Through technology improvements and modernization, more Americans are choosing to easily and quickly manage their benefits online or over the phone.”
