Description
In this episode, I share my perspective as the former head of the Social Security Administration on one of the government’s most pressing challenges: identity management. For decades, the SSA has been at the heart of America’s identity infrastructure, yet the systems we rely on were built for another era. I’ll explore where government falls short—from outdated technology and fragmented processes to the overreliance on the Social Security Number—and why these gaps leave us vulnerable to fraud, inefficiency, and eroded trust. Most importantly, I’ll discuss where we need to go next: building secure, interoperable digital credentials, harnessing innovation to improve payment integrity, and creating an identity ecosystem that balances security, privacy, and access for every American.
