A leaked memo from the Social Security Administration outlines possible changes to the claims process.

The SSA distributes billions of dollars in benefits every month to nearly 70 million recipients.

Critics say the changes could lead to increased waiting and processing times for benefits.

The changes have come at the behest of President Donald Trump , who has directed the Department of Government Efficiency to overhaul federal agencies.

Acting commissioner Dudek : "For too long, SSA has operated on autopilot. We have spent billions annually doing the same things the same way" Former SSA commissioner Martin O'Malley : "As we speak, Republicans are dismantling this agency. They are gutting its staff and they are breaking it from the inside to make it incapable of serving the American people".
