The Social Security Administration (SSA) is set to lay off a large number of employees, with workers being offered incentives of up to $25,000 for voluntary separation, the department said in a Feb. 27 statement.

Offices that perform functions not mandated by statute could be prioritized for workforce reductions, including staffing cuts, reassignments, and abolishing positions and organizations.
