from Martin O'Malley:
The Social Security Administration uses multiple systems and technologies that Musk has criticized for leading to errors. As commissioner, O’Malley told Congress the agency needed more funding for information technology modernization.
O’Malley said DOGE leaders are now making changes at the agency, and significant staff cuts have already led to system outages. Those intermittent IT outages may happen more frequently and for more extended periods of time until there is a “system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” he said.
