Supreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data

  • On June 6, 2025, the Supreme Court approved the Department of Government Efficiency’s request to obtain data from Social Security databases that include private information on millions of U.S. citizens.
  • This came after a Maryland judge issued a restriction limiting access under federal privacy laws, but the Supreme Court suspended that order, ruling in favor of the Trump administration in its inaugural appeal to the high court related to DOGE.
  • DOGE, once led by billionaire Elon Musk, had accessed the Social Security Administration's data amid allegations of overreach and concerns about potential misuse and leftover system vulnerabilities.
  • A group of Senate Democrats introduced legislation in 2025 that would require a thorough audit of the Social Security Administration’s systems to uncover any security weaknesses or unauthorized modifications made by DOGE employees or volunteers.
  • This decision raises concerns about safeguarding sensitive information and demands greater oversight, as the SSA Commissioner pledged a total review and protection of Americans' private data.
