Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution requests that the President provide Congress with information about alleged unauthorized access to sensitive Social Security Administration data by someone working for the Department of Government Efficiency. Specifically, Congress is asking for documents, records, emails, and other communications related to claims that this individual copied Social Security numbers, death records, and other personal identifying information onto a personal thumb drive or electronic device. The resolution also seeks information about whether this person attempted to share the copied data with their private sector employer and whether they discussed receiving a presidential pardon if their actions were found to be illegal. The President is given 14 days from the resolution's adoption to provide the requested materials to the House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees Social Security Administration matters. This is an inquiry resolution, meaning Congress is formally demanding information rather than passing binding legislation, and it reflects concerns about data security and potential misuse of sensitive government records.
