Important Updates
I want to
update you on some important Congressional actions that took place over the
weekend.
First, the
U.S. Senate did not vote on my nomination to be Commissioner of Social
Security, citing the parliamentary requirement that, as a cabinet level official,
30 hours of debate would be required at a time when they had only a few days
left to confirm over 20 nominees. I will continue, however, to serve as
the Deputy Commissioner of Social Security and as Acting Commissioner. As
always, I am heartened by your support and deeply appreciate your daily efforts
to serve the American public.
Second, I am
pleased to let you know that Congress approved our FY 15 budget, and the
President is expected to sign it shortly. This level of funding will
enable us to continue to provide quality services to our customers today, and
help position the agency for success in the future.
I look
forward to continuing to work with you and the new Congress. There is
much to be done. I know I can count on you to demonstrate the dedication
and professionalism that makes our agency one of the top 10 best places to work
in the Federal government.
Again, thank
you for your support and well wishes.
Best regards,
Carolyn
