According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration is threatening to shut down the Social Security Administration effectively. The move follows a judge's restraining order barring access by members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. It could delay payments to millions of Americans who rely on Social Security benefits. U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander ruled that DOGE’s access violated privacy laws and ordered all SSA data purged from its possession. DOGE staff were removed from the agency immediately after the ruling.
