The Social Security office in Big Flats is among the latest federal facilities targeted for closure by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts. The office, which leases space for $311,690 annually, was listed on DOGE’s website as a location where the lease will not be renewed.
Employees discovered the listing online but have received no official notice from DOGE or the Social Security Administration. The office, which serves thousands, employs 14 workers who remain uncertain about their future.
This is the second federal office in the region affected by DOGE, following job cuts at the Veterans Affairs facility in Bath. The office remains open for now, with no timeline for closure.
