What are the immediate consequences of the proposed Social Security Administration staff cuts, and how will they affect benefit recipients?

Democratic Senators Warren and Wyden warn Social Security Administration nominee Frank Bisignano that planned staff cuts could delay benefit payments to over 72 million Americans. The senators cite a past instance where similar cuts resulted in 80,000 people not receiving benefits. Bisignano's confirmation hearing is scheduled for later this month.
