O'Malley called to testify in Congress about Social Security remote work policy

Martin O'Malley, the newly appointed Social Security Commissioner, has been called to testify before Congress regarding the agency's policy on remote work. This comes in the wake of concerns about the efficiency and oversight of remote work arrangements within the Social Security Administration (SSA). Critics argue that remote work has led to reduced productivity and increased vulnerability to fraud, particularly in the processing of disability claims. O'Malley, who has a history of advocating for technological improvements and efficiency in government services, is expected to address these issues, discuss the SSA's current remote work policies, and outline any plans for potential changes or enhancements to ensure both employee satisfaction and service delivery effectiveness. His testimony is part of a broader scrutiny by Congress on how federal agencies manage remote work post the global health crisis.
