Days after Martin O’Malley was sworn in as the new Commissioner of Social Security, NOSSCR welcomed him with an 18-page letter outlining what we believe are some of the most urgent problems currently facing the agency and the multiple steps he can take to begin to address these issues. Our letter has been well received by the Commissioner, who has referenced our suggestions in multiple meetings with us and others (he even held up our letter with his handwritten “this is really good” note mid-meeting recently!). We are encouraged by the interest he has shown in implementing long-needed changes within the agency, and we remain hopeful that positive progress is on the horizon. You can read the full letter below.
