While Social Security will see a record COLA for 2022, there’s a problem — a record number of people could be left behind.

Most people know that the program helps retirees along with a number of individuals who deal with issues that marginalize them economically. But with many Social Security offices shutting down over the past two years, it’s become apparent that there’s a record number of people who are not receiving their benefits.

Many of these people have physical or mental health issues, along with low/no income, lack of housing, lack of English proficiency, or other issues which make it hard to get help.
