Trump administration admits DOGE accessed personal Social Security data
A DOGE employee signed an agreement to share Social Security data with the aim of overturning election results in certain states, according to a new court filing.
The Trump administration has acknowledged for the first time in a court filing that members of the U.S. DOGE Service accessed and shared sensitive Social Security data without the awareness of agency officials.
The admission comes months after a whistleblower raised concerns that members of DOGE — the government cost-cutting operation founded by Elon Musk — had obtained one of the government’s most protected databases, risking the security of hundreds of millions of Americans’ private Social Security information. The agency had previously denied the whistleblower’s allegations.
But the Justice Department submitted a court filing Friday in an ongoing case saying that the Social Security Administration had discovered a secret agreement between a DOGE employee and an unidentified political advocacy group. The agreement called for sharing Social Security data with the aim of overturning election results in certain states, according to the filing.
Social Security said it was not previously aware of the agreement and that it has made referrals for potential Hatch Act violations to the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates violations of the law barring political activity in the civilian workforce. The agency learned of the agreement in November, according to the court filing, but had “not yet seen evidence that SSA data were shared with the advocacy group.”
The agency also acknowledged for the first time that DOGE members had shared data with each other using an unsanctioned third-party service that Social Security officials have been unable to access.
The disclosures amount to a notable reversal by Social Security officials, who had previously claimed there was no evidence that DOGE had potentially compromised personal data. In August, after former chief data officer Charles Borges told Congress and others that DOGE was storing Americans’ data in an unsafe environment, the agency told The Washington Post it was “not aware of any compromise to this environment” and remains “dedicated to protecting sensitive personal data.”
