This rush job risks people’s private data, creates security gaps, and could result in catastrophic cuts to all benefits,” Senator Elizabeth Warren says of DOGE’s plans to “hastily upgrade” SSA IT systems.

Under DOGE's instruction, the SSA made significant changes, including a 7,000-job workforce reduction and a new anti-fraud system.

DOGE wants access to the data of millions of Americans, including Social Security numbers, medical information, tax return data, citizenship records and more.
