Orrin Hatch: “A lot has happened since then, so we are happy to have the Commissioner here again today.”

It is disappointing the ranking member feels a need to question a statement that I made during the hearing.

I stand by everything I said during my questioning of Mr. Saul, including concerns about budget summary data.

The Finance Committee has worked with the Treasury Department to ensure proper responsiveness to committee inquiries. We are continuing to review these matters to determine what further oversight is required.

Having a confirmed Commissioner, and sustained leadership, will benefit the Social Security Administration.
