Democratic senators have expressed serious concerns regarding the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) plans to rapidly upgrade the Social Security Administration's (SSA) IT systems. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden urge caution, claiming these hurried changes could disrupt benefit distributions and lead to data losses. Since DOGE's involvement, SSA has experienced recurring website crashes, making it challenging for beneficiaries to access services. Experts warn that without proper safeguards, the rushed modernization could lead to severe consequences for millions reliant on Social Security.
Put simply, DOGE has already limited access to benefits by damaging SSA's technological infrastructure-and this rushed IT modernization plan can only exacerbate those problems.
DOGE staffers hacking away Social Security's backend tech with no safeguards is a recipe for disaster, not a serious update of the agency's digital infrastructure.
