Treasury Appoints SSA Chief Frank Bisignano as IRS CEO to Oversee Operations and Service Improvements！

Ever since Billy Long was removed as IRS Commissioner in August 2025, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has served as Acting IRS Commissioner. But recently, the Treasury Dept. announced that Frank Bisignano, current Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), will take over day-to-day operations as the IRS’s CEO. Bisignano will execute this newly created position while remaining SSA Commissioner. In making the announcement, Bessent stated that the IRS and SSA share similar technology and customer service goals and that the appointment will help “sharpen our focus on collections, privacy and customer service.”
