The speaker analyzes budget figures showing a reduction in DDS employees from 1,147 to 997 positions between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, resulting in a projected increase in processing times for disability claims. He highlights the concerning statistic of 30,000 annual deaths while awaiting benefits and questions the future commissioner's plans to address the issue. The speaker concludes that the SSA faces significant challenges due to insufficient funding and employee morale, predicting further delays in processing disability claims.
