Ex-JPMorgan Executive Joins SSA as Unpaid Advisor to Modernize Social Security

Former JPMorgan COO Matt Zames is joining the Trump administration as an unpaid adviser to the Social Security Administration to help modernize the agency, starting at SSA headquarters in Baltimore. He will work with SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano; Zames brings tech and restructuring experience from JPMorgan and Cerberus, but the SSA faces aging systems and funding concerns that could require future benefit changes. As a special government employee, his role is limited to about 130 days and is not full-time.

SSA Expands Compassionate Allowances With 14 New Conditions

The Social Security Administration added 14 health conditions to its compassionate allowances list, bringing the total to 314 conditions and speeding disability-benefit approvals for people with serious illnesses. The additions include cancers, adult brain disorders, and several rare pediatric conditions (such as Aicardi syndrome and Warburg micro syndrome). SSA uses automated screening to fast-track eligible applications, while non-eligible cases can still take six to eight months for standard disability determinations. Public submissions and expert input help guide future additions.

The article also lists SSI dates for the rest of 2026 (Sept. 1; Oct. 1; Oct. 30 for November; Dec. 1 and Dec. 31 into January 2027) and notes ongoing long-term funding concerns for Social Security, though payments will proceed on the normal schedule this month.

SSA Goes National: 75 Million Seniors Redirected to Centralized Help

Starting March 7, the Social Security Administration shifts to a nationalized customer service system, redirecting about 75 million beneficiaries from local field offices to centralized support to boost efficiency and reduce in-person visits. The change aims to speed service through a digital-first approach, but could create access challenges for seniors without reliable technology, even as officials cite shorter call wait times and faster responses.
