Social Security Publications Podcast
I have to admit, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that the Social Security Administration had a podcast was, “But what is it going to talk about?!”
As it turns out, the SSA has quite a few things to talk about, such as how people earn work credits, disability benefits, and how to file an unfair treatment complaint against a judge. Yet, the agency seems to have a different definition of “podcast” than you and I. The SSA’s show is called Social Security Publications and literally consists of a presenter reading one of the agency’s publications word for word.
According to Apple Podcasts, the Social Security Publications was last updated in 2014. However, in many episodes, the presenter has read a time stamp from 2021 or 2022. If the SSA wanted to refresh or republish its series, it seems that it forgot to change the publication date.
