Social Security stops reporting call wait times and other metrics
Source: Washington Post
Social Security has stopped publicly reporting its processing times for benefits, the 1-800 number’s current call wait time and numerous other performance metrics, which customers and advocates have used to track the agency’s struggling customer service programs.
The agency removed a menu of live phone and claims data from its website earlier this month, according to Internet Archive records. It put up a new page this week that offers a far more limited view of the agency’s customer service performance.
The website also now urges customers to use an online portal for services rather than calling the main phone line or visiting a field office — two options that many disabled and elderly people with limited mobility or computer skills rely on for help. The agency had previously considered cutting phone services and then scrapped those plans amid an uproar.

The decision to remove public-facing data drew sharp criticism from advocates who said that it will make it more difficult to assess how the agency is performing for its 74 million beneficiaries.

"Too many professionals committed to accuracy in their Govt. jobs wouldn't allow it." I mean, tRUMP is so far ahead in this shitfest. We can't get ANY accurate info from this govt at this point. Denial is not just a river in Egypt. His war is on multiple fronts. Fires burning everywhere.
