Nor going to happen. Frank will come in. See the mess and cut further. Shift all disability to some AI robot that will auto-adjudicate. No need for field operations or even representatives. Just give me your consent and demographics. I will look-up your finances and medical records. Might even look at your voter registration. ;) AI will render a decision immediately and start benefit if approved. All online. No need for FO or 800 or any human resources. DOGE boys working on it before Frank even gets there.
On the retire side, Frank will help funnel funds directly to the financial institution, brokerage firm or more than likely placed in DOGE cypercurrency . Wall Street is salivating. Could be in reduced lump sum payment? based on actuary on your predicted demise.
I have not heard anything yet on how state DDSs might be impacted. They are all state employees, not Federal, but SSA reimburses costs. Any news on that front?
Oh I bet he won’t be going anywhere until he’s ripped off the nation by mandating that all SSA transactions be processed through Fiserv. Grifters gotta grift!
But he’s a genius! He figured out that if you fire most of your employees or get them to quit, and stop paying the remaining employees what they deserve, you can increase profits! He‘s almost as smart as Elon, who also figured out that you can increase profits if you just stop paying your rent and other bills! We need this kind of genius at SSA!!!!
It depends on what the actual goal is. If it’s just to weaken the rest of the executive branch, then you’ll be okay for now. The leading theories though are that DOGE is going to automate everything thereby making DDSs and FOs irrelevant OR that Musk wants to completely destroy the whole thing so that he can be in control of the US. Like I said, those are theories but every passing day that Congress refuses to stop any of this, those theories are looking more likely.
This has his fingerprints all over it. He said Social Security was overstaffed and has too many offices. I knew this was coming down the pike and that's why I got the hell out of Social Security when I could last year.
I fully expect DOGE to close all Social Security offices and contract their functions out to H&R Block. Get ready to pay Block for any services you need from Social Security!
I don’t think they appreciate how angry the public will get if they gut service or benefits of such a popular program. Maybe they’ll have to learn the hard way.
Really? Hasn't the program that's supposed to help with reviewing medical evidence been in development for eight years? It boggles the mind to think that anything smart enough to handle initial and reconsideration determinations would be anywhere close to ready for prime time.
Also, the various data sources used to make a disability determination are in no way unified. I didn't see any one program being able to access and collate it all, let alone make sense of it.
I think people like Vought are so ideologically against the idea of government, that they ultimately don't care what the people think. They'll tear down as much as they can in four years and call it a job well done. They don't even care if it hurts all the down ballot Republicans over that same period.
Not talking about agency developed, third parties have developed these capabilities. There are a few out there in the domain. Why build when you could buy these capabilities. Agency has failed at building themselves.

My assumption is that he's very involved in everything that's happening.
Maybe he should fire himself next.
He’s complicit. In a meeting it was detailed, he’ll be CoSS in name only. DOGE will continue to call the shots.
Bisignano is Feyd-Rautha, come to save the SSA from the clutches of the evil Beast Rabban (Dudek). Hmmm. . .did not work out too well in Dune. . .
He’s aware of the role he’ll be in. Instructions will continue to be from DOGE. Many are aware hence the resignations.

This is a real world concern that I have had as well but we havent heard a thing, the silence on the topic is even more nerve racking.

Except the agency will never get the funding or manpower it needs to fund the creation, implementation, and support of something like that.
It is actually closer than you think.
State DDS funding will get cut once the DOGE boys have AI in place to perform their work. Very close now.
Hostile. Government. Takeover.
Acting GC is leaving immediately and announced that the Administration appointed a new GC, Mark Steffensen, who joined OGC about a week ago.
He needs to remember that karma never sleeps and the maximum time for this regime is four years. I dont give it that long.

Wouldn't there be due process issues to having AI models make determinations on people's applications?

Comes the financial world. Expect private retirement accounts. Wall Street cannot wait.
He was never an OGC employee.
@2:38 I am pretty sure he will think he is the King of America and wont' leave after 4 years.
