Government denies plan to close Social Security offices
Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler rejected House Democrats claims that the Reagan administration intends to shutter hundreds of Social Security field offices. She said a long term review will determine if changes are needed, noting no ax will fall and that population shifts and tech improvements will guide any actions. Rep. Edward Roybal and Rep. Vic Fazio warned a 21 percent staff cut could close up to 800 of 1,340 SSA offices, reducing services and raising costs.
