Frank BisignanoThe Senate confirmed Frank Bisignano on May 6 to be commissioner of the Social Security Administration, placing him in charge of an agency central to the lives of retirees that has been struggling with long wait times and website crashes.

Bisignano, a 65-year-old Wall Street veteran, secured his post with a vote of 53-47. He enters the Trump administration at a time when its facing public backlash for its plans to downsize government and where he'll be leading an agency that Americans interact with from cradle to grave.

The Social Security Administration provides benefits to roughly 73 million people, including retirees and children. The agency’s acting commissioner has been Leland Dudek, who had already begun making changes, including mass buyouts of staff.
