The Letter

Subject Hold Hearings on DOGE Inside Social Security

On January 16, 2026, Justice Department lawyers told a federal court in Maryland that members of the Social Security Administration's DOGE team had shared data through Cloudflare, a third-party server that "is not approved for storing SSA data." The filing said SSA "has not been able to determine exactly what data were shared" or whether the data still exist.

The agency holding that data is also shrinking. SSA had 49,683 employees in February 2026, down from 58,409 in September 2024, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Social Security records hold the earnings history and personal details of nearly every American. Please hold public oversight hearings on how DOGE staff accessed and shared Social Security data, and on what the agency is doing to find out what was exposed.

I'm calling to ask the Senator to support public oversight hearings on DOGE's handling of Social Security data.
In January 2026, the Justice Department told a federal court that DOGE staff shared Social Security data through a server not approved for it, and SSA cannot say exactly what was shared.
SSA also has about 8,700 fewer employees than in September 2024.
I'm a constituent. Please make the agency answer these questions in public.
