Frank Bisignano, named Social Security Commissioner by Trump in March 2025, confessed he googled the job after a single phone call, bewildering 70 million recipients and his own managers. “I’m one of the great Googlers on the East Coast,” he quipped, as staff wondered if their boss or DOGE’s AI would answer next.

Asked about his new post, Bisignano cheerfully admitted he Googled ‘commissioner of Social Security’—not a typical onboarding method for a federal agency serving 70 million. DOGE’s looming AI upgrades and his Wall Street resume add fresh twists to Social Security’s wild 5-leader shuffle since November; “Are we having fun yet?” he joked.

Bisignano is the fifth Social Security chief since Trump’s 2024 reelection—a record agency turnover.
