Alabama residents should be aware that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is undergoing a major agency reorganization plan, which will result in the closure of several locations around the state. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiated these closures as part of a cost-saving initiative to streamline operations and decrease expenses, with an estimated savings of a little more than $1 million.
The “Wall of Receipts” has reported that four Social Security offices in Alabama are impacted by this restructuring, leading to permanent office closures.
