10 House Reps RIPPED INTO Social Security Over 5 Million Americans getting Below-Poverty Checks

Ten members of the House Ways & Means Committee spent the hearing questioning Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano over service, disability delays, and the program's future. Lawmakers pressed him on disability hearing waits that run close to eleven months, five million Americans receiving checks below the poverty line, the largest staffing cuts in the program's ninety-year history, and a trust fund now projected to force a benefit cut around 2032. The commissioner countered with a record-service story; faster phones, more people served, and billions protected from fraud. Claim by claim, the metrics met the waiting room. 0:00 Below-Poverty Checks 5:38 Eleven-Month Wait 10:55 Phones And Access 16:05 The Turnaround Claim 25:48 The Death File 45:00 The Solvency Clock 51:38 The Collapse Rebuttal 62:36 The Fact-Check
