What kind of sensitive information does DOGE have access to at the Social Security Administration?
DOGE has access to extensive personal data at the Social Security Administration, including Social Security numbers, bank account information for direct deposits, family relations and dependents. The SSA also houses the world's largest repository of medical information. This access is particularly concerning as it contains even more sensitive data than what's available at the IRS, with comprehensive records about millions of Americans' financial, personal, and medical histories that could be accessed by non-elected officials through DOGE's broad information requests.
