U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Gov. Kathy Hochul criticized the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to Social Security.

The Department Of Government Efficiency has listed 47 Social Security Administration Offices for closure – including two in New York.

The lawmakers held a news conference Friday at the SSA Office at the Leo O’Brien Federal Building.

They said SSA has announced plans to cut 7,000 staff – despite the fact that staffing is at a 50-year low. They are expressing concern that the cutbacks would limit phone support for the agency and force people to handle claims online – which can be difficult for seniors.
