Democratic lawmakers pressed Frank Bisignano on the IRS-ICE data-sharing agreement. The CEO said the tax agency is prioritizing risk management and touted its AI work.

The Social Security Administration commissioner will keep his current position and step into the newly created role overseeing day-to-day operations at the embattled tax agency.

Frank Bisignano wouldn’t say whether he still considers himself “a DOGE person” and provided scant details on remaining DOGE staffers at the agency.

A new bill from Sens. Whitehouse, Warren and Wyden calls for performance and security audits into what DOGE left behind in its dives into SSA computer networks.

The agency tapped Scott Coulter as its top IT official after shifting Mike Russo to be a senior advisor to the commissioner.

Frank Bisignano, who previously called himself “fundamentally a DOGE person,” said PII in SSA systems “needs the highest level of scrutiny and protection.”
