Tens of thousands of Social Security Administration staffers have secured the ability to continue teleworking until late October 2029, thanks to a recent agreement signed between their union and the agency. This deal, which was signed just before the departure of SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley, ensures that American Federation of Government Employees members at the agency can maintain their current levels of telework.
Under the updated contract, AFGE members at the Social Security Administration will have to report to the office between two and five days a week, depending on their job roles. The union, representing 42,000 workers at the agency, has played a crucial role in securing this agreement, which aims to prevent higher attrition rates and maintain staffing levels to better serve the public.
