Amid rising concerns about how DOGE cuts and restructuring at the Social Security Administration will impact Americans, Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) attempted to place a call himself.

In a video posted to X, Beyer sits at his desk with Social Security on speakerphone. "The estimated hold time is greater than 120 minutes," an automated voice says, citing high call volumes.
