During a visit to Atria Tanglewood, a retirement home, four residents shared their concerns about recent changes at the Social Security Administration (SSA) under President Trump. Despite having few expenses, they reported heightened anxiety regarding their monthly Social Security checks due to staffing cuts affecting customer service. The residents emphasized their cautious approach to managing finances, expressing concerns that their savings might not endure. Their trepidation reflects a broader anxiety among seniors relying on Social Security amid policy changes.
Our checks get deposited right into a checking account, and every month, I'm very cautious, looking to make sure that they come in.
Residents... said extra savings won't last forever and they're 'more fearful' than they've been before.
