SSA Ends Phone Service for New Benefit Applications Verification by phone no longer an option for those applying for Social Security

Forcing people β€œto visit offices in person for services that they have sought by phone will result in more headaches and longer wait times to resolve routine customer service needs,” Nancy LeaMond, AARP’s chief advocacy and engagement officer, said in a March 19 statement. #SocialSecurity

HB 2138 is a game-changer for Oregon, encouraging the construction of middle housing like duplexes, triplexes, and ADUs. This will provide more housing opportunities for first-time buyers, families, older adults. #agefriendlyoregon #housingoptions #middlehousing #orleg #orpol @tinakotek.bsky.social
