The Social Security Administration is pushing back the rollout of a controversial anti-fraud measure by two weeks and reducing the number of applicants it will effect.

The new identity verification policy will only apply to those filing for retirement, survivors or family benefits.

Advocates have raised concerns that the change would prove onerous for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
