Musk blames SSA for billions in “erroneous payouts”

DOGE’s leader Elon Musk accused the SSA of distributing billions in wrongful payments — a claim supported by the White House. His criticism has sparked national debate about the sustainability of the US retirement system and public finances.

DOGE’s influence is growing. In March, it launched an internal investigation into the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and accessed sensitive databases.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is also under scrutiny, with DOGE proposing a 20% workforce cut, potentially affecting 6,800 employees by May 15, just a month after tax season closes.

orders also direct agency heads to collaborate with the Treasury Department to ensure payments are directed to their intended recipients, introducing more rigorous controls to safeguard taxpayer funds.

Shift to Digital Payments

The vast majority of federal payments, including Social Security, food stamps, and tax refunds, are already made through electronic means, and the federal government has been pushing for years to transition fully to digital payment methods.
