I recently had an appointment at the Social Security office to apply to manage Uncle's Social Security for him, and to request a replacement card since he lost the old one.
I was seen on time. The application process was painless and it was clear by the end why it needed to be done in person. The replacement card arrived six days later.
From where I'm sitting, it seems the front-line folks at Social Security are doing their best to hold the line against Trump.

In contrast, my wife just needed to send a letter to the Department of State about her passport renewal, and she asked at the local post office how to send the letter with tracking, and they told her to use a priority mail flat rate envelope for $12.90 when she could have just used certified mail for $6.08. Yet another anecdote suggesting that Louis DeJoy succeded in his goal of destroying #USPS. #politics #USPol
