Summary

AARP condemned the Trump administration’s plan to require in-person Social Security visits for users unable to verify identity online, starting March 31.

The Social Security Administration claims the move, pushed by Elon Musk’s DOGE, will cut $100 million in fraud but faces backlash over the burden on older Americans.

AARP, an influential lobbying group representing a powerful voting bloc, reported that members sent over 800,000 messages to Congress opposing the changes and demanding protection for Social Security services.
