Indiana Senator Mike Braun and Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey sent a letter to the Social Security Administration on Thursday regarding their lack of compliance with allowing electronic signatures to complete transactions.
Congress had given previous direction saying that electronic signatures should be allowed when possible.
The letter claims that wet (physical) signatures are out dated and place avoidable burden on SSA employees as well as the people filling out the forms.
In the letter Braun and Casey address the SSA’s struggles to meet service demands due to the amount of time wet signatures take to process.

The senators may as well go shout at the full moon for all the good a letter will do sent to this administration. It is lawless and does not intend to comply even with its own EOs or the laws pass by The People’s representatives. The Republic is dead and gone at this point.
Appearantly Social Security Administrations doesn’t believe it has to listen to anybody and will Do As They Please. Regardless of any written directives or Standard Operating Procedures – That has been more than evident over the years as they SPENT TAXPAYERS MONIES in the form of ALLOWING CONGRESS to use those monies AT WILL (Like going to an ATM for you and I). WE The People have funded some of the most egregious programs, Paid for trips for Congressmen and their families, Buildt buildings that were never intended for occupancy (ir use for that matter) and when I say “buildt” I mean building, decorated and fully stocked and just waiting for someone to walk in and start working/living. No need to bring anything but yourself, provided you could find it and if you did, You would have to find away to get to the site ( no roads or “Access”. Bottom line, Social Security has Bank Rolled so many things and there has not been a Watchdog to oversee the entire operation.
