The money was reclaimed as part of a five-month pilot program after Congress gave the Department of Treasury temporary access to the Social Security Administration ’s “Full Death Master File” for three years as part of the omnibus appropriations bill in 2021. The SSA maintains the most complete federal database of individuals who have died, and the file contains more than 142 million records, which go back to 1899, according to the Treasury.

TrailGuy 554 Posted February 18 Elon Musk’s overhaul of the federal government seems to have hit a snag: His Department of Government Efficiency posted classified information on its website. Musk’s team posted information about the staff and size of a U.S. intelligence agency on their new website, HuffPost reports. DOGE has been criticized for the level of access into sensitive government departments, including the Treasury Department, but how they got the classified information isn’t clear.

TrailGuy 554 Posted February 18 The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration left her job this weekend after a clash with billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service over its attempts to access sensitive government records, three people familiar with her departure said Monday. Michelle King, who spent several decades at the agency before being named its acting commissioner last month, left her position Sunday after the disagreement, the people said. This the trump appointed person pushing back on breaking the law. “At this rate, they will break it. And they will break it fast, and there will be an interruption of benefits,” said Martin O’Malley, the Social Security commissioner under the Biden administration and a former Maryland governor. “It’s a shame the chilling effect it has to disregard 120 senior executive service people,” O’Malley said. “To pick an acting commissioner that is not in the senior executive service sends a message that professional people should leave that beleaguered public agency.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The plan is working perfectly. You're trying to get one over on Trump by saying he should know every single one of these people and which ones are deadbeats or not. But Trump outsmarted you already. He learned from his first administration he couldn't possibly do and know all that. So he sends in DOGE to find out and root out all the garbage. It's working. And you "working" from home with bathroom issues isn't making you any smarter. That's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
