Social Security Administration

Workers at many federal agencies fear losing their jobs in the next wave of cuts from President Donald Trump. One Social Security worker in Kansas City shares his fears about future layoffs, DOGE's handling of sensitive information and the delivery of funds for people who need them.

Kansas City es un centro para oficinas federales como la Administración del Seguro Social, la Agencia de Protección Ambiental, el IRS y el Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos.

At a recent panel put together by U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids, current and former federal employees discussed the chaos of DOGE's mass firings that have lead to wasted onboarding costs, potential late or unpaid bills to contractors and an atmosphere of fear.

Kansas City is a hub for federal offices like the Social Security Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the IRS and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The federal government is by far Kansas City’s largest employer and a major economic engine, with agencies like the IRS, EPA, Social Security and more in town. Experts warn the region’s economy will feel the pain when jobs disappear.

Missouri will continue to take millions of dollars in the next year in Social Security benefits and use the money to help pay for foster care. The result is that kids who are orphaned or have disabilities are responsible for paying toward the cost of their care in state custody, while foster kids who are ineligible for those benefits pay nothing.

Missouri’s child welfare agency took at least $6.1 million in foster kids’ benefits last year to reimburse itself for the cost of providing care. It’s a longstanding practice that has come under increased scrutiny across the country.

The bipartisan bill, exempting Social Security benefits and public pension payments from income tax, would reduce state general revenue by an estimated $309 million annually.

Under current Missouri law, there is an income cap where single tax filers who make more than $85,000 and joint filers who make more than $100,000 would owe some state income tax on Social Security. The bill removes that cap, a change that's estimated to cost the state $318 million annually.
