Long Island Reps. Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen spoke with constituents Monday at the Tilles Center about Social Security concerns.

Suozzi says the Social Security workforce has been cut from 57,000 to 50,000 this year. However, he says no recipient will be losing their benefits.

"I don't want people to panic, but I want them to know the facts as what's happening, what we're doing to try to protect them," Suozzi says. "And what they can do to try to fight for their rights."

Republican Rep. Nick LaLota says none of his constituents have reported a loss of Social Security benefits or experienced an unusually long delay in hearing back from a Social Security administration representative.
