WH aims to restore faith in government by improving services
Associated PressWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed an executive order Monday aimed at rebuilding the public’s trust in government by making it easier to do things like renew passports, apply for Social Security benefits and get aid after natural disasters. “The bottom line is we’re going to make the government work more effectively,” Biden said before signing the order in the Oval Office. “This executive order is really focused on how the federal government delivers services to the public and ensuring that we deliver high-quality product to the public,” said Neera Tanden, a senior adviser to the president. The federal government may be willing, but its technology is ancient, its personnel system sluggish, the bureaucratic layering unrelenting.” For retirees and the nearly 4 million Americans who turn 65 each year, the order requires that they be able to claim Social Security benefits online more easily.
