His comments suggested a misinterpretation of the court order, causing significant alarm among lawmakers and advocates, especially since millions rely on Social Security payments. However, Dudek later confirmed that the agency's operations would proceed normally after complying with the judge's order to terminate access for specific workers. This situation highlights the critical importance of social security in the financial lives of many Americans.
