DOGE just got a green light to access your Social Security data. Here’s what that means
- On Friday, June 6, 2025, the Supreme Court approved the Department of Government Efficiency’s request to access sensitive data from the Social Security Administration.
- This ruling comes after a federal judge’s April decision restricted DOGE’s access over privacy issues, and the Trump administration subsequently sought urgent Supreme Court intervention to overturn that restriction.
- DOGE aims to gain wide-ranging access to the personal information of millions of Americans—including tax, health, and identification details—as part of an effort to identify inefficiencies and improper activities within government programs during modernization initiatives.
- The 6-3 Supreme Court majority ruled DOGE may proceed with access while dissenters, including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, warned this risks undermining privacy and enabling overreach.
- The ruling allows DOGE to continue its mission but fuels ongoing legal and public debate about balancing government efficiency with protecting Americans’ personal privacy.
