President Trump has frequently promised not to cut Social Security benefits. “I’m not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,” he told Fox News earlier this year. President Trump has also promised to shore up the retirement program by eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse, and he has taken action on that promise during his first 100 days in office.

The Social Security Administration (SSA), with help from the Department of Government Efficiency, has recently made a number of changes to reduce wasteful spending, prevent fraud, and improve customer service. “I am proud of the extraordinary work by our dedicated employees at SSA to help deliver on President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security,” said Acting Commissioner Lee Dudek.
