Hands Off Our Social Security Act

This legislation aims to ensure the continued effective operation of the Social Security Administration and to protect Social Security services for all Americans. Its core purpose is to prevent actions that could undermine the integrity and accessibility of these vital benefits. The bill specifically prohibits unauthorized tampering with benefits, privacy violations through data mining, and any efforts towards privatization of Social Security administration or services. Furthermore, the Act restricts unauthorized workforce reductions at the SSA and the closure or consolidation of SSA offices without explicit Congressional consent. It mandates the maintenance of existing multi-channel communication systems, including telephone and in-person services, ensuring they are not diminished or terminated without prior approval by an Act of Congress. Any modification to Social Security benefits or significant operational changes would require specific legislative action, with the Government Accountability Office conducting annual audits to ensure compliance and report findings to Congress.
