The Social Security Administration Has A New Acting Commissioner


Nancy A. Berryhill, replaced Carolyn W. Colvin, as the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (“SSA”) on January 23, 2017. She will oversee close to 64,000 employees and a 12 billion dollar budget. Ms. Berryhill has worked at SSA for 40 years. She previously served as the as the Deputy Commissioner for Operations at the agency.

Clearly Ms. Berryhill has worked at the agency long enough to see the positive aspects of the agency as well as its flaws. Hopefully, Ms. Berryhill will be able to implement some processes that reduce the ever-growing backlog that exists at the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review.
