hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Requests documents on DOGE's use of SSA personal data.
Rep. John Larson (D-CT) and 19 cosponsors.
Referred to Ways and Means Committee, no vote yet.
This resolution asks the President to hand over records about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) accessing Social Security's NUMIDENT database, which contains personal info like Social Security numbers. It's sponsored by Rep. Larson and other Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees Social Security. Being a resolution of inquiry, it's a formal demand for information, not a law, and is now in committee.
Introduced Feb 11, 2026
This bill is under review by a committee. The committee holds hearings, gathers testimony from experts and stakeholders, and may propose amendments. If the committee votes to advance it, the bill moves to the full chamber for debate and a vote.
If adopted, the President must provide requested documents within 14 days. This could reveal whether DOGE or Elon Musk's team shared your Social Security personal data with groups analyzing voter rolls, or with the Department of Homeland Security. It also covers potential violations of privacy laws and a court order, giving Congress and the public clarity on data security.
Supporters Say
Supporters say transparency is needed to protect Americans' private data from political misuse.
Critics Say
Critics argue the resolution is a partisan attack on government efficiency efforts.
Supporters, mostly Democrats, emphasize the need for oversight when personal data is accessed by outside groups, especially those tied to election activities. Critics, likely Republicans, may view it as an overreach that obstructs administrative efficiency and targets political opponents. No official endorsements are in the bill text.
