Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has gained control of the Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, raising concerns from Democratic lawmakers and consumer advocates. The Service distributes trillions annually in federal payments, including Social Security checks and salaries. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington warned that DOGE's access to sensitive taxpayer data, including Social Security numbers, could pose risks. A lawsuit filed Monday alleges the unlawful disclosure of personal financial information.
