  • At SSA, Coristine joined as a special government employee with authorization to work up to 130 days annually, focusing on improving website functionality and efficiency.
  • Nick Sortor noted on X that Coristine is identifying rampant waste, fraud, and abuse at SSA, and he was reported to have government-issued laptops for his duties.
