Senator Reverend Warnock: “Georgians had questions about the Trump administration’s overall disdain and callousness toward people who depend on their social security benefits to live”

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) submitted over 250 questions from concerned Georgians to Social Security Administration (SSA) nominee Frank Bisignano to answer following his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. The 261 questions were pulled from over 500 responses from Georgia seniors and family members who have concerns about the future of social security in the state.

“Georgians asked about this nominee’s plans to ensure their benefits are not disrupted by DOGE. They asked about Elon Musk accessing their personal data. They asked about disability wait times and approval backlogs. But by far most Georgians had questions about the Trump administration’s overall disdain and callousness toward people who depend on their social security benefits to live,” said Senator Warnock when submitting the questions for the record.

During last week’s hearing, Senator Warnock questioned Bisignano on his commitment to keep all field offices in the state open for Georgia seniors and increase staffing at Georgia field offices. Several weeks before the hearing, SSA announced it was making access to benefits more difficult for seniors, no longer allowing individuals to apply for benefits or request a direct deposit change over the phone. These and other proposed changes at the SSA could lead to an increase of 7 million visits to field offices per year across the country, and an estimated 200,000 additional visits in Georgia alone. Senator Warnock remains committed to ensuring Georgians can easily and efficiently access their benefits that they have paid into over their lifetime.
