The agency’s official X account posted the news on the social media platform.
The account shared a series of follow-up posts elaborating on the updates.
“Individuals who are not flagged will be able to complete their claim without any in-person requirements.”
“Telephone remains a viable option to the public.”
However, there have been some major adjustments since the start of the Trump administration this year.
The update follows the SSA’s decision to eliminate phone-based identity verification services.
A March 26 press release revealed that many claimants will no longer be able to verify their identity by phone starting April 14.
The SSA also noted on X that it processes around 4.5 million phone claims annually, with 70,000 potentially being flagged.
Between January 2013 and May 2018, fraudsters altered direct deposit details to steal $33.5 million in benefits from 20,878 recipients, according to the SSA’s Office of the Inspector General
The agency aims to enhance security and protect beneficiaries from similar schemes.
