The federal agency also announced it has terminated cooperative agreements with the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC)—a program for research on Social Security, retirement and disability policy issues. Ending these agreements is expected to result “in about $15 million in cost savings for hardworking Americans in fiscal year 2025,” the SSA said.

So, we’re eliminating inefficiencies by eliminating programs that identify inefficiencies.

Me personally, I’m okay with spending $0.10/year to have experts both inside and outside of the Social Security Administration identify problems with Social Security that they can work on.
