Social Security Commissioner Visits National Federation of the Blind
Headquarters *Commissioner Bisignano visited the National Federation of the
Blind (NFB) to meet with NFB President Mark Riccobono.*

*Baltimore, MD* — On Monday, December 8, 2025, Social Security
Administration (SSA) Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano visited the National
Federation of the Blind (NFB) headquarters to meet with NFB President Mark
Riccobono and discuss the ways SSA can continue and strengthen its support
of the blind community. Bisignano is the first SSA Commissioner to ever
visit the NFB headquarters.

“I am grateful for all the work NFB does to support, rehabilitate, and
expand opportunities for the blind. With approximately 50 million American
adults suffering from vision loss or blindness, almost every family either
is or knows someone closely impacted by vision loss, and my family is no
exception. I will continue to advocate for the blind and explore new ways
to improve SSA’s services, including the return-to-work efforts for
beneficiaries,” *said Commissioner Bisignano.*

"We deeply appreciate Commissioner Bisignano’s commitment to partnership
with our organization to create meaningful opportunities to advance
self-sufficiency and financial independence for all blind Americans. We
value leaders like Commissioner Bisignano who invest the time and effort to
learn from our community by visiting our national headquarters, speaking at
our national convention, and making actionable commitments to address our
concerns,” *said NFB President Riccobono.*
