Social Security Welcomes its New Commissioner
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: June 17, 2019
Andrew M. Saul was sworn in today as the Commissioner of Social Security at the agency’s office in Washington, D.C. He will serve a six-year term that expires on January 19, 2025.
Commissioner Saul expressed his gratitude at being chosen to serve as the Commissioner of Social Security. “The Social Security programs touch the lives of almost every American – serving in this position is a tremendous privilege and an awesome responsibility,” said Commissioner Saul. “I am humbled by the opportunity to help the agency to deliver critical services to the American people.”
Commissioner Saul brings a vast amount of experience to the position. At the federal level, one of Commissioner Saul’s greatest achievements was his work with the Federal Thrift Investment Board (FTIB). In 2002, Commissioner Saul became Chairman of the FTIB, which administers the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). The TSP provides military and federal employees the opportunity to save for additional retirement security. Commissioner Saul led the board to modernize systems and restructure executive staff. Through effective changes, he increased participation and reduced participant costs.
In addition to his federal service, Commissioner Saul has served and worked within numerous state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and private sector businesses. He started his career in the private sector, growing and managing two large publicly traded apparel chains for over 20 years. He served as Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York’s regional transportation system and the country’s largest public transportation network. He also served as Vice Chairman of the Mount Sinai Health System and Chairman of its Audit and Compliance Committee. In addition, he was a Trustee and Chairman of the Audit Committee of the National Gallery of Art. He formerly served as a board member of the United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York.
Commissioner Saul will be responsible for administering the Social Security retirement, disability and survivors insurance programs that pay over one trillion dollars annually in benefits to approximately 64 million beneficiaries, as well as the Supplemental Security Income program that provides cash assistance to more than 8 million people with limited income and resources. The agency has a national workforce of about 63,000 employees and 1,500 facilities across the country and around the world.
Commissioner Saul is from New York. He is a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and serves on its Board of Overseers. He and his wife of over 50 years, Denise, have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Social Security has A LONG WAY TO GO FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS CONSUMER RIGHTS, especially ROCKVILLE OFFICE. They hang up on you, they’re rude, they leave the phone off the hook while listening to you in your home talking instead of putting you on hold or transferring the call to who you requested. The supervisor is as bad as the workers. I have been fighting disability since 2007, now I have stage 4 cancer and still fighting. They decided on the wrong program for me and asking me to appeal????
Before they approved me I was in a car accident they have kept back money and future payments because of my settlement, that was gone before they approved me! I’m now trying to get into the correct program and want another LOCAL OFFICE

Why does an IRS agent “claim” I owe taxes sends a Notice to Social Security and you people steal $500 a month from my social security check each month without a Judicial Judgment or Warrant and leave me with only $812.50 to live on for a month. So far you people have stolen $27,981.50 from me upon his say so. Over 5 years you have been stealing from me and now I’m broke and now I will have to fight with you because you won’t obey the law :to leave me alone until a Warrant is sent to you. This is a criminal offense by Social Security Administration mattoids. Just wait!!!!!!

Hi Alfred. The Department of the Treasury can withhold Social Security benefits to collect overdue federal tax debts. It can use a Notice of Levy to collect overdue federal taxes under section 6334(c) of the Internal Revenue Code; or The Federal Payment Levy Program to collect overdue federal taxes. This allows the Department of Treasury to withhold up to 15 percent of your monthly Social Security benefits until you repay the debt. You cannot appeal the reduction of a Social Security benefit payment under tax levy to Social Security. Contact the Internal Revenue Service at 1-800-829-7650 to discuss any appeal rights.

The newest litagation has to do with your agency’s willingness to take orders from Dyke feminist Hillary Rotten Clinton and remove employment records from my work history. Collusion
