Bisignano champions Trump’s SSA amid insolvency warnings: ‘Best overall performance in SSA’s history’

Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano stood up for his agency in his congressional testimony on Wednesday, touting lower call wait times and greater efficiency as he said the SSA is having its “best all-around performance ever” under the Trump administration.
