The "Social Security czar" refers to the individual appointed to lead the Social Security Administration (SSA). In 2025, this role is held by Frank Bisignano, who was confirmed by the Senate on May 6th. Bisignano is a Wall Street veteran, having previously held positions at Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase, and as Chairman and CEO of Fiserv.

Bisignano's appointment comes amid concerns about potential cuts to the Social Security system and the agency's workforce. Some have expressed worries about his previous business experience and his ties to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He has also been vocal about his support for using technology, including AI, to improve Social Security's operations.
