On Friday, April 24th, Social Security Works Executive Director Alex Lawson will hold a “Ghost Office” tour, headlining rallies outside three severely understaffed Ohio Social Security offices.
The Trump administration has pushed thousands of workers out of the Social Security Administration, creating "ghost offices" — locations that are open in name only, drained of the staff needed to function.
Ohio lost 12 percent of its Social Security staff between January 2025 and February 2026. As of August 2025, there are over 3,700 beneficiaries for every Social Security field office worker in Ohio. This is leaving seniors, people with disabilities, and grieving families unable to access the benefits they've earned.
