DOGE Gets Access To Social Security Data: What PA Residents Should Know
- The Supreme Court allowed the Department of Government Efficiency to access Social Security Administration data for all Americans by a 6-3 vote while related lawsuits continue.
- This ruling came after a preliminary injunction issued by a federal district court over privacy concerns, which the Trump administration sought to overturn through an emergency petition to the Supreme Court.
- DOGE received broader access than usual for fraud and waste investigations, including non-anonymized, sensitive personal information covering employment, residences, and medical histories.
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, cautioning that the decision jeopardizes the privacy of countless Americans by allowing unrestricted access to sensitive, non-anonymized personal data before the courts have fully determined the legality of such access.
- The ruling allows DOGE data access during ongoing litigation, raising concerns about long-term privacy protections and government data handling amid modernization efforts.
