Today, House Ways and Means Committee Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Chairman Rep. Richard E. Neal (D-MA) urged Social Security Administration (SSA) Acting Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi to ensure the agency is taking the necessary precautions to best serve visitors in the summer months.

“We write to urge the Social Security Administration (SSA) to ensure that visitors to SSA offices are served effectively and safely, and are not waiting in line outside in the summer heat in many areas of the country,” wrote Rep. Brady and Chairman Neal. “We appreciate the efforts SSA has taken to accept in-person visits and reopen field offices to the public in April 2022…We strongly urge SSA to take additional action to address the safety needs of individuals who are seeking field office services.”
