US EditionSupreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data
- On June 6, 2025, the Supreme Court approved the Department of Government Efficiency’s ability to retrieve information from Social Security databases that hold sensitive details about millions of U.S. Citizens.
- This decision came after the Trump administration brought its initial appeal before the Supreme Court related to DOGE, following a Maryland judge's order that limited access due to federal privacy regulations and concerns about potential misuse.
- DOGE, previously overseen by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, faces more than twenty lawsuits challenging its policies and attempts to gain access to Social Security data.
- A group of Senate Democrats introduced legislation in 2025 requiring an audit of all Social Security Administration systems accessed by DOGE, with the goal of uncovering any security weaknesses or unauthorized modifications left by the group.
- The Supreme Court decision allows DOGE to proceed but raises privacy concerns and prompts ongoing legal and legislative efforts to ensure data security and prevent unauthorized use.
