Agency Challenges
Our programs provide a safety net for the public and contribute to increased financial security for the
elderly and disabled. Each month, we pay more than $65 billion in benefits to over 61 million
beneficiaries. These benefits not only provide a lifeline to our beneficiaries and their families, but are
also vital to the Nation's economy.
In the chart below, we show the major challenges we face as we look toward the future. We align the
Commissioner’s priorities with the
OIG identified top issues facing our management
( ). In addition, we identify the
performance measures that help us gauge progress toward resolving these challenges, as well as show
our official responsible for resolving them. For a detailed description of how we address these
challenges, see pages 11–63.
