President Biden proposed a budget for 2023 that included more funding to improve Social Security Administration’s (SSA) services.

CNBC reports that the proposal would increase the Social Security Administration’s budget by $1.8 billion — a 14 percent increase from the funding enacted in 2021. These additional funds would go to various areas of the SSA, such as teleservice centers, and additional staff to help speed up processing times.
