  • The Social Security Administration announced Wednesday that it is pushing back the rollout of a controversial anti-fraud measure by two weeks and reducing the number of applicants it will effect.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is implementing new anti-fraud measures to enhance the security of its benefits programs, as reported by CNN on March 26, 2025. These changes include the introduction of advanced identity verification processes, increased scrutiny on electronic transactions, and the deployment of new technology to detect and prevent fraudulent activities. The SSA aims to protect the integrity of Social Security benefits by reducing the risk of identity theft and improper payments. These measures come in response to rising concerns over fraud, particularly in light of recent high-profile cases of benefit theft. The administration is also collaborating with other federal agencies to share data and best practices to combat fraud more effectively.
