John,

Our pressure is working. Since Joe Biden was sworn in as President one week ago, 3 deadly Trump-era Social Security regulations have been withdrawn. These rules would have resulted in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Americans losing their earned benefits―or never receiving them in the first place. But our work isn’t done while the architects of these rules are still leading the Social Security Administration!

Alex’s email below outlines exactly why this is so important. Trump put in place 3 key allies at the Social Security Administration, each one either corrupt^1,2 or an anti-Social Security ideologue.³ One has resigned―and our campaign won’t stop until the other two are gone as well.

--ALEX'S EMAIL--

John,

Elections have consequences. And the Biden administration is already showing the sharp contrast with the Trump administration. On Friday, at the end of Biden’s first week as President, the new administration withdrew 3 deadly last-minute rules that Trump’s Social Security Administration had been pushing.¹

This is what we worked so hard for―but this is just the start. As long as Trump’s SSA appointees remain in place, our earned benefits are under threat. Can you chip in $5 to Social Security Works’ Clean House at SSA campaign?

Trump nominees Andrew Saul and David Black are still at the Social Security Administration, serving as Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner, respectively. Biden indicated last week that he considers Saul only an Acting Commissioner who “will temporarily lead federal agencies while nominees continue moving through the confirmation process.”²

Biden must move swiftly. President Obama’s nominee for SSA Commissioner was never confirmed, meaning that we’ve only had a Democratic-nominated, Senate-confirmed SSA commissioner for 8 of the last 40 years. During this time, the Republican assault on our earned benefits has only intensified.

President Biden has a lot on his plate right now. He shouldn’t have to worry about Trump’s SSA Commissioner sabotaging Social Security right under his nose.

Social Security Works is leading the charge to insist that Social Security have new leadership that believes in our Social Security system. Chip in $5 to our Clean House at SSA Campaign!

Saul and Black have the rare distinction of being rebuked by the unions that represent the employees at the Social Security Administration.³ Generally, employee unions try to make nice with management because they’ll have to keep working together―but this rebuke shows that there’s no working with these guys. They’ve got to go!

Together, we’ll make that happen.

Thanks,
