The Trump administration is implementing changes to Social Security to prevent fraud, which is estimated to waste $100 million in taxpayer funds annually [00:07]. These changes, effective March 31st, will primarily affect first-time applicants and current recipients changing bank information [00:31]. Instead of phone verification, in-person visits or online verification will be required [00:58]. Social security advocates are concerned about transportation access and older Americans struggling with online tools [01:06]. These changes coincide with efforts to downsize the federal workforce and office locations [01:21].
