Local Congressman Eric Sorensen this week introducing the Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act, which aims to prevent the closure of Social Security field and hearing offices. He says the bill would ensure continued access to vital services for seniors, people with disabilities, and families across the country.
The Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act, would impose a moratorium on Social Security field and hearing office closures until January 21, 2029 — one day after the end of President Trump’s second term. The bill would also allow the Commissioner of Social Security to lift the moratorium only after submitting a detailed report to Congress outlining a clear and justified process for office closures.
Sorensen represents the eastern portion of Mercer County.
