President Trump's nominee to run the Social Security Administration, Frank Bisignano, will face a Senate hearing on Tuesday morning about his qualifications to run the massive retirement system, as well as his plans for the agency at a time when it has been targeted for significant job cuts by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
The hearing is scheduled to start Tuesday 10:10 a.m. Eastern time, with Bisignano set to appear before the Senate Finance Committee.
The Social Security Administration delivers more than $1.6 trillion annually in benefits to 70 million seniors, disabled people and children, with the monthly benefit checks providing a major source of retirement income to many older Americans. At the same time, Social Security is facing a potential financial crunch, with the program set to cut benefits starting in 2035 because its spending is outpacing income.
