US EditionSupreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data
- On Friday, the Supreme Court approved the Department of Government Efficiency’s request to obtain information from Social Security databases containing personal details of millions of U.S. Citizens.
- This decision follows a block from a Maryland judge based on privacy laws, with earlier appeals court refusals to lift restrictions amid ongoing lawsuits.
- A group of Senate Democrats introduced legislation in 2025 that mandates a thorough audit of all Social Security Administration systems accessed by DOGE personnel, with the goal of uncovering security weaknesses and safeguarding sensitive data.
- DOGE's deep access to sensitive data drew criticism, with Senator Whitehouse warning of lingering risks such as potential backdoors, while SSA Commissioner Bisignano pledged to protect private information.
- The ruling implies continued legal and political challenges over data access and privacy, signaling scrutiny of DOGE's role and the need for enhanced oversight of Social Security systems.
