The new head of the agency responsible for administering Social Security and Medicare said Sunday he plans to make sure the agency survives well into the 2100s.

In a Sunday interview, Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano said the Trump administration and lawmakers plan to make major changes focused on cutting waste and fraud with the goal of keeping the trust funds behind Social Security and Medicare solvent.

Bisignano was confirmed May 6 by the Senate to lead the Social Security Administration (SSA) after decades on Wall Street as the CEO of Fiserv and other top positions at major U.S. banks.
