Pension agency consolidation cuts nine from eighteen
The United States plans to reduce pension agencies from 18 to nine. The reform, approved by Interior head Francis, aims to save at least 10,000 dollars annually without hurting pensioners. Agencies in Concord and Augusta are discontinued with payments routed through Boston and other cities, creating new or relocated offices in St Louis Topeka and Washington. The plan shifts payroll and administration costs, with nine agencies listed and total pensioner counts by state.
