The Senate Appropriations Committee has scheduled a hearing for March 9 at 9:30 a.m. on funding for the Social Security Administration for this fiscal year and the next. The following witnesses are scheduled to testify:
- Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security
- W. Lee Hammond, President, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)
- Marty Ford, Co-Chair, Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Task Force on Social Security Acting Director, The Arc (formerly called the Association for Retarded Citizens) and United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) Disability Policy Collaboration
- Joe Dirago, President, National Council of Social Security Management Associations, Newburgh, New York
Will the House Appropriations Committee hold a hearing on Social Security appropriations for this year or the next? That would give a Republican Commissioner of Social Security the opportunity to tell House Republicans that the budgets they are proposing would wreak havoc at Social Security. That would be interesting.

Since they can't ever get a budget done before the year actually starts, they need to start doing two year budgets.
