The Trump administration is enacting two major changes to Social Security aimed at reducing fraud and waste, which have sparked significant backlash. The first change reinstates full garnishment of overpaid benefits, potentially causing hardship for vulnerable beneficiaries, while the second limits the ability to change direct deposit info over the phone, moving to an online or in-person process to curb fraud. Critics argue these measures will disproportionately affect low-income seniors and those lacking digital skills.
