(NewsNation) — The Department of Government Efficiency has started to make large budget cuts, resulting in the closure of multiple Social Security Administration offices across the United States.
The latest announcement from DOGE currently has a total of 47 offices nationwide with closures or plans for closures across the Southeast, Midwest, Northeast and Western United States, Newsweek reported.
The Southeastern United States was hit the hardest, with almost half of all closures taking place in the states of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas.
Here’s the latest list of Social Security Administration offices that have been closed or are in the process of being closed by DOGE:
Georgia
Alabama
Arkansas
North Carolina
Texas
New York
Mississippi
The Social Security Administration released a news release in February stating all agency employees have been told to prepare for “significant workforce reductions.”
According to the release, the SSA will work on restructuring the department, which could lead to employees being fired or redirected. It could also lead to organizations or positions being erased completely.
“Reassignments may be involuntary and may require retraining for new workloads,” the release said.
This all comes as Elon Musk’s DOGE continues to make cuts. In February, hundreds of weather forecasters and other employees with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were fired.
According to Craig McLean, a former NOAA chief scientist, the first round of cuts at the NOAA were probationary employees.
In fact, thousands of probationary employees across the entire federal government have been fired in the past few weeks. Musk claims that DOGE has saved an estimated $65 billion so far, but data shows that 40% of the contracts that have been cut so far won’t be saving the government any money.
So far, it is unclear how much money DOGE has saved for the federal government.
