In the United States, the acting head of the Social Security Administration (SSA) has refused to give confidential information to Elon Musk and his team. Elon Musk, as an advisor to Donald Trump, is trying to get hold of the personal information of Social Security beneficiaries in order to carry out his plan to cut public spending.
Elon Musk’s ultimate goal is to have as much information as possible so that his team can implement everything related to his new economic plan. In this sense, the acting head of the Social Security Administration (SSA), Michelle King, has refused to respond to Trump’s advisor’s proposal, since this information includes sensitive data that should not be part of the strategies to cut public spending, according to King.
What will happen to Social Security Administration (SSA) payments?
For the moment there is nothing to worry about in this respect, as United States citizens with a Social Security Administration (SSA) check will be able to continue getting their payments regularly over the coming months. However, we may see some kind of change in the future, as the government wants to make cuts.
Be that as it may, it is true that the plan to cut public spending does not seem to be immediate, so there are no problems with benefits yet. Those Americans who live on a monthly check from the Social Security Administration (SSA) will be able to do so without any problems on the usual date.
In addition to all this, Elon Musk has also requested sensitive information related to the IRS and the Treasury, so in the future we could see radical changes in many sectors of the public economy. Even so, at the moment there are no changes in this respect, but it could be the case that we are facing a change of era in everything related to the SSA, stimulus checks and other federal payments.
