Iowa Social Security offices not targeted for closing say officials
Rep. Tauke told by acting SSA Commissioner Martha McSteen that the agency's plan to close small offices is tentative and may change to avoid hardship for beneficiaries. Details show 17,000 staff reductions nationwide, with about 3,200 from district and regional offices, while decisions will consider travel, transport, and service quality. Des Moines reports also note Maj. Gen. Roger W. Gilbert resigns as Iowa adjutant general, effective April 30, after six years in command.
