Social Security faces a growing backlog of retirement claims that agency officials hope their remaining workers can clear with a little encouragement.
The Social Security Administration on Wednesday asked its employees to work hard to clear a backlog of retirement claims after the agency pushed out thousands of workers earlier this year.
In an internal memo to operations employees obtained by HuffPost, a Social Security official said the agency has received more retirement claims than in any previous year, thanks in part to the ongoing retirement of baby boomers.
The backlog has grown to 575,000 pending retirement claims, with more than 140,000 of those pending for more than 60 days.
Will you pay me 10% more?

The thing is, if they don’t (or any agency not working harder), Donald will state the agency sucks, and it’s a waste of taxpayer money and will shut it down.
It’s a good thing all those SS employees got stock options when they signed up for the job!
Forgot the /s
Oh wow, I thought they were serious
The government doesn’t have stock options.
…I’m pretty sure the reply was sarcastic as well.
How is one to know without the /s? It’s realistic with American public education that people wouldn’t understand how the government works
Understanding sarcasm has nothing to do with education, but has to do with simply existing in society and interacting with people offline on a semi-regular basis.
Thanks for clarifying that.
A lot of people have no idea how anything works.
probably cant afford to lose those boomer votes right now.
Lol!
Oh, wait. This isn’t The Onion? Well…fuck.
Sure. I’ll just multiply my current efforts times 10% and…
