Witness List For Ways And Means Committee Hearing

The House Ways and Means Committee has released the following tentative witness list for its full committee hearing on Wednesday on Social Security's backlogs:

Panel:

Tentative
The Honorable Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner, Social Security Administration


Panel:

Sylvester J. Schieber, Chairman, Social Security Advisory Board

Marty Ford, Co-Chair, Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force

Witold Skwierczynski, President of the American Federation of Government Employees National Council of Social Security Field Operations Locals, Baltimore, Maryland

Mara Mayor, Member, AARP Board of Directors, Bethesda, Maryland

The Honorable Frederick Waitsman, Administrative Law Judge, Social Security Administration, and Vice Chair, Social Security Section of the Federal Bar Association, Atlanta, Georgia

The hearing is at 10:00 and should be available in streaming video. I would guess that there is a good chance that C-SPAN will be broadcasting the hearing, but we will have to wait to see on that one. I have to keep emphasizing that this is a full committee hearing, which makes it a much bigger deal than a Social Security Subcommittee hearing, not that a Subcommittee hearing is unimportant.
