The Social Security Administration pushed back on Sen. Elizabeth Warren, saying her report was inaccurate and claiming service and transparency improved under Trump.

"These facts conclusively demonstrate that you are wrong in alleging a lack of transparency."

He also pushed back on Warren’s charge of a cover-up, saying SSA has made improvements in customer service, including "shorter wait times on the phones and in offices, as well as reduced backlogs." Bisignano said 81 percent of performance measures are better than before, with the rest about the same.

According to SSA’s data, average phone wait times dropped from 29 minutes in 2024 to 16 minutes in 2025, with August down to just 9 minutes.

He also urged Warren to work with SSA instead of spreading what he called "fearmongering and reckless lies that Social Security is going away."

"The time has come to stop weaponizing Social Security," he wrote. "The American people do not want a Social Security War Room. They want their leaders to protect and preserve Social Security, just as President Trump has promised."
