Media Miss by the right: Social Security delayed for millions due to backlogs<\/p>\n

The Social Security Administration is in what The Washington Post<\/a> describes as “turmoil” after the Trump administration laid off thousands of employees last\u00a0 February.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the agency is currently facing roughly 6 million pending cases and 12 million transactions – 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.<\/p>\n

Nigerian officials said the late-December strikes<\/a> were aimed at securing\u00a0 Sokoto and preventing infiltration from the Sahel.<\/p>\n
