There have been reports that Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, who had been employed by DOGE, had left employment with the federal government. Those reports turned out to be false. He only left DOGE. He's now a "special government employee" with Social Security.
It must be purely coincidental that this was announced the day after the Ways and Means Committee hearing with Commissioner Bisignano.

He is a GS-15 and his account was created Monday 6/23/25.
Interesting that there is a hiring freeze - but an unqualified 20 year old can just walk into SSA as senior advisor.
Leland Dudek was the commissioner for a short period of time so all bets are off.
He gets a blank check to continue sabotaging!
Instead of getting angry, why not see how Big Balls can help you? He's a computer whiz kid. Last I checked, SSA was in dire need of revamped technology. I, for one, welcome Mr. Coristine aka Big Balls to the agency.
lol is this satire????
Whatever you say, Dudek...
GS 15/1 in Baltimore is $167,603. Not bad for a 20 year old, even if a wunderkind, with about six months or largely irrelevant experience.
May I have his extension so that I can transfer this ANGRY calls to him?
All you haters have done such a good job over the last few decades in managing this agency. It’s in such great shape with such efficient operations and great processes and technology. Someone comes in - whether a D or an R - and you stonewall them. Same song different verse:
“We don’t need your stinkin’ outside help or ideas, we are doin just fine. Nothing to see here folks, just move right along and let us be.”
BIG BALL$ to the rescue!
Frank Bisignano, the newly confirmed commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), told lawmakers on Wednesday afternoon that his agency is keeping Americans’ sensitive data safe, and he laid out the agency’s technology agenda to improve customer service.
During a joint hearing held by the House Ways and Means Committee’s Social Security Subcommittee and Work and Welfare Subcommittee, several lawmakers raised concerns over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) having access to Americans’ personal data at SSA.
The issue made its way to the Supreme Court, which issued a ruling earlier this month that granted DOGE unfettered access to sensitive data held by the SSA.
Bisignano, however, assured lawmakers that Americans’ personally identifiable information (PII) “is safe.”
“Social Security has always had a high level of security over PII, and I’ve overviewed it,” Bisignano said. “I’d like to say I spent my career protecting PII in the largest financial institutions, and so we have very strong protocols on access to it and very tight security around it. I feel very, very comfortable that our PII is protected well.”
When asked by Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., if DOGE employees have access to any sensitive information, Bisignano replied: “No, sir.”
The very best people are willing to work with anyone to help the agency. There are very few left, though, unfortunately. They are being thrown through the wringer with competing priorities at the moment. Triage is necessary to get anything done.
If you google a photo of him, well... lets just say the very least he could do is wear pants to work...those shorts and the upper part of a suit just doesn't scream "I'm gonna fix this!!". More than likely screams "Mom forgot to put my pants on today!!". *eye roll*.
Does anyone know if he’s actually on campus or attending meetings etc?
