(AURN News) — The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is suing the Social Security Administration over how it allowed a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)-affiliated team to access and handle millions of Americans’ personal records.
New court filings reveal the federal government is admitting it gave judges false information under oath while defending that access.
For months, SSA told courts that DOGE team members only used Social Security data for fraud prevention and system upgrades. However, court filings say those claims were false.
The government now acknowledges that Social Security data may have been shared through unauthorized third-party servers, pulled through internal workspaces and even emailed to the Department of Homeland Security.
More alarming, a DOGE team member signed a voter data agreement with a political advocacy group tied to efforts to change election results.
Plaintiffs are now asking the judge to reopen discovery, saying they still do not know what personal data was shared, who has it or whether it has been secured.
