Government Review Finds Minot’s Social Security Office

Changes may be coming to Minot’s Social Security office, but officials say there’s no cause for alarm—at least not yet. A federal review is underway, examining office leases nationwide, with an eye toward cost savings. While the Minot location is included in the assessment, statements from both the Social Security Administration and Sen. John Hoeven’s office indicate that no final decisions have been made. The focus, they say, is on efficiency, not closure. Still, for those who rely on in-person services, the outcome of this review will be worth watching.
