"Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano was named to the newly created position of CEO of the IRS on Monday, making him the latest member of the Trump administration to be put in charge of multiple federal agencies. As IRS CEO, Bisignano will report to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who currently serves as acting commissioner of the IRS, the Treasury Department says. It is unclear whether Bisignano's newly created role at the IRS will require Senate confirmation."
"The Treasury Department said in a statement that Bisignano will be responsible for overseeing all day-to-day IRS operations while also continuing to serve in his role as commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Bessent said in a statement that the IRS and SSA "share many of the same technological and customer service goals. This makes Mr. Bisignano a natural choice for this role.""
Frank Bisignano was named CEO of the IRS while retaining his role as commissioner of the Social Security Administration. He will report to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who currently serves as acting IRS commissioner. The new role's Senate confirmation requirement is unclear. Bisignano will oversee all day-to-day IRS operations while continuing SSA duties. Bessent said the IRS and SSA share technological and customer service goals, making Bisignano a natural choice. The appointment follows extensive IRS leadership shuffling since the start of Trump's term, including removals, resignations over data-sharing with DHS and ICE, and public disputes. A tax law expert warned of conflicts if SSA seeks access to legally protected taxpayer data.
