AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This resolution asks the President to send the House of Representatives a wide set of records about how the Social Security Administration has been operating since January 20, 2025. The main focus is whether the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, or people working with them have had access to Social Security systems or information, and whether they have visited Social Security offices. It also asks for information about how busy Social Security phone lines and offices have been, whether offices have been closed or combined, and whether the agency has cut staff in 2025. It is a request for information, not a law that changes Social Security rules.
- It seeks documents, logs, emails, agreements, and other records related to access to Social Security computer systems and data.
- It asks for information about any visits by the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, or their team to Social Security offices.
- It requests data on daily calls to Social Security’s national phone line, as well as daily visits and calls at field offices and card centers, after January 20, 2025.
- It also asks for records about office closures or mergers and any staffing cuts at Social Security offices, hearing offices, call centers, and other units in 2025.
