New Social Security rules present barriers to rural communities without internet, transportation

  • A new rule requires Social Security recipients to access benefits online or at field offices, making it difficult for those without internet access or transportation.
  • Advocates argue that these changes will negatively affect vulnerable Americans, particularly in rural areas.
  • In McDowell County, where one in three residents live in poverty, this rule poses significant challenges.
  • For residents like Veronica Taylor, who cannot operate a computer, the six-mile walk to the Social Security office adds significant hardship.
