article posted on the Newsweek website showed one of the victims of Department of Government Efficiency cuts was the social security office in Roanoke Rapids The article did not state whether it was the field office on Gregory Drive or the office of hearings located in the Thanos Building on Roanoke Avenue State Representative Rodney Pierce confirmed Monday through an inquiry with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services that the office of hearings is to be closed “North Carolina Disability Determination Services is aware of the closure of the Roanoke Rapids Social Security Administration Office of Hearing Operations site field office remains open to the public … NCDDS relies on the strong federal and state partnership with the SSA to ensure assistance is readily available across the state for those who need it NCDDS takes seriously its responsibility to efficiently provide these services and will continue to monitor changes at the federal level closely.” In the gallery: A screenshot of the closings from the Newsweek article That statement is in line with what a source familiar with the situation told rrspin.com on February 27 and then a statement from the SSA regional office in Atlanta the following day The source said that the hearing office across from the post office is expected to be closed — an office which is called Office of Hearings and is not part of the Social Security field office located on Gregory Drive The response from SSA did not specifically mention the Roanoke Rapids office of hearings a spokesperson said that the SSA is working with the United States General Services Administration to review its leases “and ensure they are used efficiently.” “Most of the leases we are not renewing are for small remote hearing sites that are co-located with other federal space As the majority of our hearings are held virtually we no longer need as many in-person hearings locations.” the SSA spokesperson said 20 percent of these offices held no in-person hearings Social Security continuously monitors and evaluates the use of our office space to maximize efficiency for the American taxpayer.” A statement from a GSA spokesperson received by rrspin.com on Friday said "Acting Administrator (Stephen) Ehikian’s vision for GSA includes reducing our deferred maintenance liabilities supporting the return to office of federal employees and taking advantage of a stronger private/government partnership in managing the workforce of the future.” GSA is reviewing all options to optimize its footprint and building utilization “A component of our space consolidation plan will be the termination of many soft term leases To the extent these terminations affect public facing facilities and/or existing tenants we are working with our agency partners to secure suitable alternative space In many cases this will allow us to increase space utilization and obtain improved terms." I am always concerned when efforts to cut costs have a disparate impact on communities like mine but there are human costs to these decisions.” We have 7100 guests and 7 members online Roanoke Rapids High School Yellow Jackets baseball team hosted the Rocky Mount Gryphons The Yellow Jackets beat the Gryphons 15-8 and improved to 4-0 for the season We have 7127 guests and 7 members online The male victim of a shooting inside Walmart Sunday night is in serious condition according to Lieutenant Morgan Worrell of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department Worrell said police don’t know if all the suspects were armed when the shooting occurred around 10 p.m A motive has not been established but Captain Harold Phillips said earlier today there was an argument in the parking lot which escalated inside the store He said investigators believe that the person shot was the intended victim Editor's note: One photo has been altered to take out a person who police aren't sure was involved In a statement this morning Phillips said when officers arrived the parties involved were gone and detectives were called out to investigate and collect evidence Officers were notified that a shooting victim was at the hospital for treatment Investigators learned the person was the victim who had been shot at Walmart The victim was taken to another medical facility Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444 or via its website We have 7139 guests and 7 members online The Roanoke Rapids High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee held its Hall of Fame Class of 2024 induction Banquet this past Saturday night in the High school's cafeteria.  The 2024 RRHS HOF inductees were also introduced to the public Friday night at the Roanoke Rapids home football game against Bunn The purpose of the Roanoke Rapids High School Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize and provide an enduring memorial for those persons whose outstanding contributions have enriched the athletic program and brought honor to the school two teams and one Supporter were inducted into the Class of 2024 of the Roanoke Rapids High School Athletic Hall of Fame David Allen Butts, Coach Robert Edison "Bobby" Carter Walter Linwood Jones III, Coach Wallace Edward "Ed" Nelson Virginia Lee "Gin" Watson Jenkins, Woodrow Wilson "Buddy" Wrenn Michael Wayne "Mickey" Gukich, Brian Howard Sidney Columbus "Sid" Deloatch Jr., Thomas Adkins "Tommy" Merritt Jr. John Palmer Stainback II, Keith Nigel Sledge Judson Bryce Dunlevy,1993 Girls tennis Team Cristina Nelson Gielowski, Trace Jones, Tommy Lancaster, David McNair, Sonny Pruet, 1961 Baseball Team, 1961-62 Basketball Team We have 7144 guests and 7 members online The Roanoke Rapids City Council will hold its regular meeting on Tuesday in the Lloyd Andrews City Meeting Hall located at 700 Jackson Street We have 7162 guests and 7 members online It happened 11:30 a.m. in the 700 block of Washington Street.
