(NewsNation) — A study published on May 27 found that 25% of the nation's population has over an hour-long drive to the nearest Social Security field office.

A Center for Budget and Policy Priorities study showed that 13.5 million seniors are affected by the lack of closer field offices, with some being further away when factoring in traffic. The previously proposed phone cuts were stopped. However, if you don't pass the anti-fraud check, you will have to go to an office.

It is estimated that these changes will require over 1.93 million additional trips to Social Security offices each year. The CBPP said that, without traffic, half of seniors are at least 33 minutes from a Social Security office.

Where seniors could face the longest driving times to Social Security offices

According to the CBPP study, in 31 states, more than 25% of seniors will face travel times of over one hour to get to a local Social Security office. In some less-populated states, this number jumps to over 40% of seniors who would need to drive more than an hour.
