Us dog department: On Friday (June 6), the US Supreme Court has given access to the Social Security Administration (SSA) data system to the former department of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) related to Allen Musk in a controversial and important judgment on Friday. With this decision, Doge has got the right to see the personal information of millions of US citizens.
The decision has overturned a prior order of Maryland’s US District Judge Ellen Hollander, in which he banned access to DOGE’s SSA data. The main concern behind this ban was to individually to maintain the privacy of personal information. Such as medical records, finance documents and social security benefits.
Concern related to data access
Doge’s appointment in SSA and data access has not only raised questions on security and privacy, but there has also been turmoil in political circles. The plaintiff argued that the members of the dog have been deployed in a sensitive institute like SSA without adequate investigation and training. As a result of this move, SSA Acting Commissioner Mitchell King resigned from his post in February. She clearly stated that she was refusing to give sensitive SSA data to DOGE. Mitchell King, who has served SSA for three decades, has expressed deep concern about data access.
White House and Trump’s strategy
The Trump administration described this appointment as an anti -fraud initiative. According to the White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewit, “Many dead people are still getting paid under social security.” The Trump administration has tasked the DOGE to use SSA data and identify duplicate payments and identifying dead recipients. It was argued that this intervention is necessary to maintain transparency and integrity in the SSA system. The administration believes that SSA costs an annual cost of about $ 1.5 trillion and its misuse can have a serious impact on the economic structure of America.
Concern of social security workers
Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works, sharply criticized the decision, saying, “This is a serious privacy violation that cannot be ignored.” He also warned that SSA has very sensitive information and if this data goes in the wrong hands then its results can be very dangerous. SSA has a description of schemes like records, medicare data and supplementary security income of all citizens holding social security numbers. The access of this data to this data can lead to many new debates from the future policy and safety point of view.
