The Social Security Administration (SSA) acting commissioner has resigned over a dispute regarding alleged Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) requests to access Social Security recipient information.

Since President Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20, a number of federal government agencies have been vetted by DOGE in an apparent effort to streamline processes and cut spending. But the efforts, led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, have created concerns among lawmakers and government employees over access to personal information.

What To Know

Michelle King, who has held the position of acting commissioner since January and has worked for the government agency for more than 30 years, stepped down following a dispute about DOGE staffers’ potentially unlawful access to private taxpayer information.

The SSA oversees benefit disbursements for over 70 million people and handles extensive amounts of personal information, including details about individuals’ employment and earnings history, as well as their residential addresses.

According to a report by The Associated Press, King refused to provide DOGE staffers at the SSA with access to sensitive information. DOGE has reportedly accessed systems at other agencies, including the Treasury Department.

Musk reported on X, formerly Twitter, last week that he is “100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you’ve ever heard by FAR.”

The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner reportedly resigned over the weekend after a dispute with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the Elon Musk-led group’s efforts to access sensitive government records.

Michelle King, a career federal worker who had been with SSA since 1994, quit over the DOGE disagreement Saturday and was replaced by Leland Dudek, the Washington Post reported Monday.

Dudek, who has been supportive of DOGE’s efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, will serve as acting commissioner of SSA until President Trump’s pick to lead the agency, Frank Bisignano, is confirmed by the Senate, according to the outlet.

“President Trump has nominated the highly qualified and talented Frank Bisignano to lead the Social Security Administration, and we expect him to be swiftly confirmed in the coming weeks,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said in a statement to The Post.

“In the meantime, the agency will be led by a career Social Security anti-fraud expert as the acting commissioner,” Fields added. “President Trump is committed to appointing the best and most qualified individuals who are dedicated to working on behalf of the American people, not to appease the bureaucracy that has failed them for far too long.”
