According to the report, the agency is currently facing roughly 6 million pending cases and 12 million transactions \u2014 delays that could affect<\/a> about 74 million Americans.<\/p>\n

The layoffs included about 7,000 employees. As a result, many claimants are now waiting 3 to 6 months for payments and services, the paper reported.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the agency refuted the Post\u2019s reporting in a statement sent to Newsweek<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Washington Post\u00a0piece is full of Pinocchios,\u201d the statement read. \u201cUnder President Trump\u2019s leadership, Social Security is serving more people faster and better than before, and SSA will remain undeterred by politically-driven propaganda peddled by the\u00a0Post.\u201d<\/p>\n
