The Social Security Administration (SSA) on Wednesday announced a new leadership team and agency organizational changes that it says will make it more efficient.
The SSA said that it is “consolidating all Security functions into a single, integrated organization, which will be responsible for providing strategic direction and oversight of information security, physical and protective security, as well as personnel security and suitability programs.”
“The functions previously under Operations will be realigned into three distinct areas: Field Operations, Processing Center, and Digital Service,” the SSA’s statement said.
The agency also said that Chad Poist, who became a senior-level SSA official in 2023, was named as the agency’s chief of staff and chief risk officer, according to the SSA. Other changes include Karen Glenn as the agency’s chief actuary, Nicholas Perrine as chief communications officer, Andy Sriubas as chief of field operations, and Jay Ortis as acting chief of disability adjudication, according to the SSA….
