What are the concerns about DOGE-affiliated staffers entering government agencies?

DOGE-affiliated staffers have been onboarding at various agencies like the Social Security Administration and IRS, raising concerns about their attempts to gain access to sensitive systems containing personal data of taxpayers and benefit recipients. These staffers are reportedly seeking to examine financial systems based on claims of widespread fraud, particularly allegations about deceased people receiving fraudulent payments. However, these claims are not fully supported by evidence. While there are deceased people on Social Security rolls, an inspector general's audit last year found that the total fraud estimated across eight years was less than 1% - contradicting claims of 'tens of millions' of deceased people receiving benefits. This situation highlights tensions between new administration appointees and existing government systems.
