3. West Virginia
West Virginia is one of those states that lost between 30% and 50% of their staff in the past 11 years. And that’s a lot! If you fill out a disability claim in this state, you might have to wait a little bit longer than usual just because they are in a staff deficit.
And a lot of people are just annoyed by this fact.
For example, when it comes to SSA services, the staff provides critical guidance to workers making complex decisions. And providing a prompt and thorough service reduces errors that SSA has to fix later.
To have good customer service, SSA needs adequate staffing, which requires an increase in funding. Inflation may also be a very big issue in this matter.
