Senate Democrats questioned Frank Bisignano, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security Administration (SSA) on March 25 about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) operating inside the agency, including accessing databases.

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) made clear his views about DOGE going into Social Security as part of its effort to flag waste, fraud, and abuse.
