Martin J. O. Malley was sworn in as the Commissioner for the Social Security Administration ("SSA") on December 20, 2023. He will serve a term that will expire on January 19, 2025. There is no denying that SSA struggling to deliver the critical benefits to the many Americans who are dependent on them for survival. I suspect Commission O' Malley, who previously served as a Governor and Mayor of Maryland, will be surprised to see how technologically rudimentary SSA is considering it is 2023. Commissioner O' Malley is noted to be a technological pioneer when it comes to customer service and performance management systems, so let's all hope that Commissioner O'Malley uses metrics and accountability as guiding principles to turn SSA around.
Now can someone give Commissioner O'Malley a workable budget to make a dent in the dumpster fire known as SSA? This is the other component that is absolutely crucial to making SSA a functioning agency again. Doubtful that SSA's budgetary problems will improve any time soon, but it's almost a New Year.....I can hope for a miracle, right?
Happy (almost) New Year!
