The Fake News Media, a.k.a. “Mainstream Media” (MSM) and “Legacy Media”, cannot help themselves in pushing false narratives. We shouldn’t have to report on this, but here we are.
Directly from the Social Security Administration:
Recent reports in the media that Social Security plans to eliminate telephone services are inaccurate. SSA is increasing its protection for America’s seniors and other beneficiaries by eliminating the risk of fraud associated with changing bank account information by telephone.
SSA continuously investigates and analyzes potential threats to strengthen and secure our programs and protect people who receive benefits. Approximately 40 percent of Social Security direct deposit fraud is associated with someone calling SSA to change direct deposit bank information. SSA’s current protocol of simply asking identifying questions by telephone is no longer enough to prevent fraud.
If someone needs to change their bank account information on SSA’s record, they will need to either:
- Use two-factor authentication with SSA’s “my Social Security” service; or
- Visit a local Social Security office to prove their identity.
These methods align with most major banks.
All other SSA telephone services remain unchanged.
In other words, you cannot change your bank account information without making a phone call. All other telephone services remain as they were.
Mainstream Media Is Dying Due to their Deceitfulness
There’s a reason that MSM is quickly dying and this is yet another example of why many people are realizing that many media outlets cannot be trusted.
Don’t take our word for it, do your research and always go straight to the source. If there is no legitimate source listed, treat it as a work of fiction until you can verify it elsewhere.
