Financial services industry leader Frank Bisignano was sworn in today as the 18th Commissioner of Social Security.
He joins the Social Security Administration from Fiserv, the industry leading payments and fintech company, where he was Chairman and CEO.

Today, July 3, 2025, is a dark day for Americans made worse by an unsolicited propaganda email from the SSA Commissar celebrating the worst cuts in benefits in US history. Are you kidding me? Spend more time figuring out how to help folks and less Sieg Heil! political noise, please.

I received an email today touting the new changes to Social Security from the Trump‘s budget bill. This is totally uncalled for and it should never have happened. Social Security administration is non-political and has no right to send out messages backing any type of legislation it’s wrong. how dare you you’re appalling the head of the Social Security administration should be fired for this

Dear Commish Bisignano,
Is there anything in the current budget legislation that staves off the looming curtailment of social security benefits within the next decade?

The email message I received from the SSA on the evening of July 3 touting the purported benefits afforded Social Security recipients as a result of the budget bill passed by Congress this same date is a grossly-inappropriate use of government resources. This is even more egregious in its specifically attributing the changes to the efforts of a sitting president. I have never before seen a government agency use its platform to propagate political propaganda such as this. I simply do not understand how anyone finds it acceptable for a government agency such as the SSA to shamelessly politicize its roles and responsibilities. Will the SSA now start targeting those who oppose the policies of the current administration through reduction in benefits?

Hello,
I would like to know the best way to proceed in escalating/resolving the issue of stolen SS checks that were reported last year. We’ve basically been given the “run-around” in our follow-up with both the Fraud division and our local SS office. No one claims responsibility, no one really knows what’s happening, and we’re basically always told “the investigation is in progress” (which doesn’t seem accurate given that I had to file a new claim several months after the original one as if it was a new issue).
My deceased mom’s final SS check was distributed equally among her four children. The SS Administration direct-deposited one, and mailed the other three. One was received. The two that weren’t received were cashed by other people, as confirmed by the SS Administration. We filed a report and was told that an investigation would be conducted. However, it seems like it’s a dead end and we will never see the payments. I did receive the W2 form and had to pay tax on the money that was stolen and never received. While it’s not a significant amount of money, it’s the principle and unfair to have paid tax on money never received. What is the best way to escalate the issue to try to recover the payments and connect with knowledgeable representative who will be helpful and not simply say “the investigation is in progress?”

My wife recently passed and I just found out I will not be eligible for survivor benefits. I am 57 now but even at 60 I will not be eligible because of my income. At 67 I will still not get any of her benefits because mine will be higher than hers. She paid in all of the years she worked and her surviving spouse gets nothing? It takes two incomes to make ends meet. How do you justify taking a persons money for all them years and pay out her survivors nothing? These laws are antiquated and should be changed to reflect the reality of today.

Dear sir if my wife is going to get social security disability with held like has happened I will be asking the president to take measures to have the SSA shut down she has paid in just like I did and all your idiots keep saying I must get a divorce then why in the hell should their be marriages. I am a US Navy veteran with a 60% disability also drawing for as my dependent and now was forced to draw early retirement trying to live on $1,640.92 VA Disabilty and drawing a measly 1272. A month retirement and and still have to pay for my wife’s meds and gas for taking her to dialysis 3 times a week when I get through with all of our bills and buying groceries I am lucking if we have $300.00 left to last us a month. We have been filing for her before the pandemic and keep getting screwed if that is how it is going to go then I will ask SSA be shut down and repay every American that your department has stole from us.

Dear SS Commissioner Bisignano,
In light of the Supreme Court decision in : Trump, et al vs. Casa Inc, et al, docket #24A884, SSA should immediate cease from issuing or accepting US Social Security numbers issued to US newborns. Hospital/medical professionals should be notified they have no authority to issue US Social Security numbers to newborns. The biological father and mother of US newborns should be required to individually apply to the SSA for newborn SS#, and provide proof of US citizenship and registered voter status of each under penalty of perjury before any application for newborns is processed.

7 YEARS AND STILL WAITING!
My wife filed her disability claim approximately 7 years ago and she still hasn’t been approved. We have gone through appeal after appeal and she won her appeal at the federal level kicking it back to the lower court.
Now it seems as if the lower court cannot take the time to schedule her next hearing or award her disability. She has been out of work for years due to medical issues. The last lower court hearing the state had an occupational therapist / counselor testify that due to my wife’s medical issues there are NO jobs she can perform.
Given this … what is the hold up? She was denied at the lower courts because there was no medical evidence for a disease she never said she had.
Government benefits that were paid for and earned can no longer be issued to a deserving recipient. Who can survive 7 years with no income? The system is broke and if it weren’t for my income I don’t know where we would be today.
Can someone fix this?
