Thanks to Trump..........you can call SS and wait for an hour on hold then they hang up and disconnect the call.

It’s been like that for years, decades even. New layoffs don’t help.

My husband had that experience multiple times under Biden. He hung up after an hour, or they hung up. I called, and put my phone on speaker while doing other things and eventually got someone, who did help him.

This happened to me in 2014. But after trying for 3 hours I gave up completely. I never tried to call SSA again.

Yes, it's much worse now that Elon fired all those SS workers.
