A ranking member of the House Oversight Committee wrote in a new letter that DOGE has unleashed 'chaos' at the Social Security Administration, putting Americans' privacy, security, and access to benefits at risk.
One of Connolly's major concerns about DOGE's actions at the SSA is its attempt to combine sensitive data held separately by multiple federal agencies, potentially in violation of the law.
Another concern raised is the recent staffing reductions at the SSA and impact on IT systems, which could result in operational disruptions and impact Americans' ability to receive Social Security benefits.
DOGE has been tasked with gutting the federal workforce and slashing government spending, targeting the employees, contracts, building leases, expenses, operations, and data of nearly every federal agency.
