From NEXTGOV/FCW:
A long-planned refresh of the occupational data used in the disability adjudication process at the Social Security Administration was tucked inside a regulatory overhaul that the Trump administration abandoned last week.
As a result, the agency now appears to be without a timeline for finalizing that years-in-the-making update, which SSA has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on, according to remarks made by the Social Security commissioner, Frank Bisignano, during a Monday meeting. …
The commissioner was asked multiple times about the future of the data project now that the regulatory changes have been abandoned.
Bisignano acknowledged that lawmakers think the data needs to be updated, committed to looking into the issue and said that he hoped it could be updated in the future — emphasizing collaboration and consensus building as important for that process — but he didn't share any specific plan or timeline for doing so. …
Someone should ask him how that transition off COBOL that he and the DOGE-lets promised is going, too. I believe they said it would be done back in April, didn’t they?
ReplyDeleteIdiots, all of them
I heard the timeline is January 20, 2029 once this administration is long gone.
