The Social Security Administration (SSA) is highlighting improvements in customer service, citing specific milestones. However, some analysts are questioning the validity of these claims, arguing that the absence of comprehensive metrics makes it challenging to accurately evaluate the agency's performance enhancements. Critics suggest that the SSA may be selectively presenting positive data, a practice known as 'cherry picking,' without providing a complete picture of its overall service delivery.
