During his Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday, Frank Bisignano, President Trump's nominee to run the Social Security Administration (SSA), is likely to face a barrage of questions about where he stands on the future of a government agency that provides retirement, disability and other benefits to more than 70 million Americans.
Like other federal agencies, the SSA has been targeted for major job cuts by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, a reduction in force that former agency officials and other experts warn could greatly hinder the delivery of services to Social Security recipients.
In February, the SSA announced it would slash 7,000 of its 57,000 workers. Former SSA Commissioner Martin O'Malley, who led the agency under the Biden administration from December 2023 to November 2024, expects the actual number to be closer to 10,000 workers.
