On March 11, 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration released the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2025 for the Social Security Administration. As the agency notes, “key investments focus on improving the customer experience, reducing wait times at all stages of the disability process and on our National 800 Number, modernizing our information technology, improving overpayment and underpayment processes, and advancing equity by increasing access to our programs.”

NOSSCR has long advocated for improvements in each of the cited areas, and we are encouraged by the agency’s commitment to change and modernize. You can read the Commissioner’s statement on the President’s Budget here.

During his testimony last week, Commissioner O’Malley explained to lawmakers how crucial adequate funding is for the necessary improvements that the agency needs to make. Please review the Commissioner’s detailed slides from his testimony below and encourage your elected representatives to support increased funding for Social Security.
