Amidst concerns over national restrictions and threats to the Social Security system, Nevada’s attorney general is providing a way to report issues with receiving benefits.
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford created a webpage to report disruptions to the system. According to the site, “The Nevada Attorney General’s Office has become increasingly alarmed at potential disruptions to Nevadan’s Social Security benefits.”
Interruptions include mass layoffs and potential funding cuts from the Trump administration.
“I will not allow the Trump administration to destroy a safety net that protects hundreds of thousands of Nevadans,” said Ford on Instagram and the social media site X. “Nevadans paid into this system to protect their future, and I will stand against any efforts to strip that protection away. Any Nevadan who experiences a disruption or delay in Social Security benefits should inform my office so that, if the time comes, we may be able to take any appropriate action.”
The 11-question webpage does not offer any additional help to fix the issue of unclaimed Social Security, but Ford’s office said the data could be used for future litigation.
