U.S. President Joe Biden fired Andrew Saul, Social Security Commissioner, on Friday. This was a holdover from Trump’s administration. However, Saul said to the Washington Post that he will be back at work Monday morning, as his term is not over.

“Andrew Saul refused to resign as requested, and he was notified his employment as Commissioner was terminated immediately,” said a White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Official said Saul had “acted contrary to the mission and the President’s agenda for policy.”

In 2019, Saul was sworn into office by the former President Donald Trump for a six-year term. Saul stated to the Post that he considers himself the term-protected commissioner of Social Security.

Deputy Commissioner David Black, also a Trump appointee, was asked to resign and complied, the White House official said.

Biden has named Kilolo Kijakazi acting commissioner, while the search continues for a deputy commissioner and a commissioner. Kijakazi currently serves as the agency’s deputy commissioner for retirement policy and disability policy.

The Social Security Administration oversees financial assistance programs for the elderly and disabled and referred to questions regarding Saul and Black the White House.

An attempt to reach Saul was unsuccessful.

In a tweet, Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican Leader, stated that firing Saul would be an “unprecedented and dangerous politicization” of the Social Security Administration.

However, Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell (chair of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee that oversees the agency) applauded their removal. He tweeted, “They’ve been trying destroy Social Security.”

Saul has served as the general partner in Saul Partners, an investment firm. He also managed two retail apparel chains.
