Nancy Berryhill is no longer the Acting Commissioner of Social Security. The revised title is necessary
until the President appoints another executive to serve as Acting Commissioner, or there is a nominee for
the position of Commissioner of Social Security, at which time the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of
1998, 5 U.S.C. § 3346(a)(2), would allow Nancy Berryhill to resume the position of Acting
Commissioner of Social Security while the nomination is pending.
