Stops the Social Security Administration from closing, consolidating, or limiting access to Social Security field offices, hearing offices, and resident stations except in an emergency. It pauses any such actions until a detailed review and a report to Congress are completed.
It requires a public, transparent process before any future closures after the pause ends, including notice, public hearings, an appeal opportunity, and reporting. It also bars reducing the total number of offices below how many were operating on January 20, 2025. A report to Congress describing the selection process and cost‑benefit analysis may be submitted no earlier than January 21, 2029.
