Brunswick, Vidalia Among 5 Georgia Social Security Offices Set to Close in Efficiency Push

The Trump administration is closing regional offices assisting U.S. citizens with Social Security benefits.

The Department of Government Efficiency has terminated leases for five of Georgia’s 34 Social Security offices.

According to the DOGE website, offices in Brunswick, Gainesville, Columbus, Vidalia, and Thomasville will close.

The department claims the closures will save the federal government hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Physical Social Security offices serve as a point of contact for seniors and others using the service.

Georgia U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock condemned the closures, saying they will make it harder for seniors to access services they need.

“Georgia has the highest number of SSA offices closed for any state so far,” Sen. Raphael Warnock said in a statement Friday.

“Georgia is losing *5* Social Security offices,” Warnock wrote in a post on X Friday afternoon. “This will make it harder for seniors, especially in rural GA, to enroll, solve payment issues, and report fraud. I will do everything I can to fight this reckless action and remain focused on getting our seniors the benefits they paid for & rely on.”
