DOGE to Close Two Texas Social Security Administration Offices
March 31, 2025 – The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced plans to close 47 Social Security Administration (SSA) offices nationwide in 2025. Among these, two Texas locations are slated for closure.
- Nacogdoches Office: Located at 1122 N. University Drive, this office is scheduled to close on May 7, 2025. The closure is classified as a “True Termination – Agency Closed Office,” indicating a complete shutdown of operations at this site.
- Victoria Office: Situated at 8208 NE Zac Lentz Parkway, this office is expected to close on May 25, 2025. The closure falls under “Agency approved lease termination,” suggesting that the lease will not be renewed, leading to the office’s closure.
These closures are part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to reduce federal spending and increase efficiency within the SSA. The plan includes restructuring the agency’s workforce by approximately 7,000 jobs, aiming for a staffing target of 50,000 employees, down from the current level of approximately 57,000.
Critics argue that these reductions could lead to longer wait times and decreased access to services for beneficiaries. Former SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley highlighted in March 2024 that budget tightening had brought the agency to its lowest staffing level in 25 years, warning that “combined with office closures, these shortages could worsen delays and limit critical services for beneficiaries.”
Residents in affected areas, including those in Nacogdoches and Victoria, are advised to plan accordingly and seek alternative SSA offices or online services to manage their Social Security needs.
The closest SSA Office to Sulphur Springs is located in Greenville.
