Should Social Security close its offices to the public one day a week, to test whether or not employees process their work better? The Commissioner of Social Security floated the idea of testing this in thirty offices, in remarks made at a ceremony August 9, 2006, at the SSA Teleservice Center in Auburn, Washington.
Also discussed was the possibility of closing SSA offices one day a month if Congress fails to provide the funding SSA believes necessary to support all its programs in the current mode.
