The Senate Finance Committee has scheduled a hearing for May 23 at 10:00 on the subject, "Funding Social Security’s Administrative Costs: Will the Budget Meet the Mission?" No witness list has been released, but Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue should be the main witness. He will have to answer questions in public about how much money he is seeking for his agency.
It is quite apparent that the President wants Andrew Biggs to be the Deputy Commissioner and to make sure he gets a chance to have a hearing. I think he wants to let him have his day in court to defend himself.
