The #Trump admin asked #SCOTUS on Friday to clear the way for #ElonMusk ’s #DOGE to access #SocialSecurity systems containing personal #data on millions of Americans.

The emergency appeal is the first in a string of applications to the high court involving DOGE’s swift-moving work across the federal govt.

It comes after a judge in MD restricted the team’s access to #SSA under federal #privacy laws.

"Another one heads to SCOTUS: The Trump administration asked the justices to let Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have access to sensitive Social Security information, escalating a privacy fight that could affect millions of people."

Good read on the computer systems at the Social Security Administration, and why DOGE is going to fail to modernize them. Written by people who know how to do this kind of work, and who understand the SSA.

Friends, make sure that you have the documentation in this link that you need should you need to prove that you’re still alive. Getting the documentation listed in this link might be really difficult if you need to get it quickly.

What should I do if I am incorrectly listed as deceased in Social Security's records? | Frequently Asked Questions | #SSA ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-0

"Amidst the chaos and upheaval at the Social Security Administration (SSA) caused by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), employees have now been asked to integrate the use of a generative AI chatbot into their daily work.

But before any of them can use it, they all need to watch a four-minute training video featuring an animated, four-fingered woman crudely drawn in a style that would not look out of place on websites created in the early part of this century.

Aside from the Web 1.0-era graphics employed, the video also fails at its primary purpose of informing SSA staff about one of the most important aspects of using the chatbot: Do not use any personally identifiable information (PII) when using the assistant."

"Multiple #SSA employees, including front office staff, tell WIRED that they entirely ignored the email about the #chatbot because they were too busy with actual work, compensating for the reduced headcount at SSA offices. Others said they had briefly tested out the chatbot but were immediately unimpressed."

SSA's AI chatbot rollout stumbles. Training forgot the crucial 'no PII' rule, and busy employees call the tool inaccurate and unimpressive.

Behold the #SocialSecurity Administration’s #AI #Training Video

Social Security workers are being asked to use an AI #chatbot. An animated video on how to do so failed to mention that the chatbot can’t be trusted with personally identifiable information.

Um, do you guys know how the credit bureaus know you’re dead? The SSA tells them.

This is going to ruin these people’s lives.

Sure they’ll eventually be able to fix it, but if they need to replace their car or if they need to close on a mortgage before our rate lock expires, or if they need to rent an apartment, this is gonna fuck them over.
