Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
H.Res. 701 is a congressional inquiry requesting the President to provide information within 14 days about the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) access to sensitive Social Security Administration data, particularly NUMIDENT, the Social Security number database. The resolution seeks documents, communications, and audit records related to the creation of a cloud-based copy of NUMIDENT and questions its intended purposes, including whether it will be used for benefit restrictions, building a centralized federal database, selling information to private entities, or training artificial intelligence. The inquiry specifically names several DOGE officials and asks about their access to and use of personally identifiable information from the Social Security Administration's databases since March 2025. This resolution was introduced by House Democrats and referred to the Ways and Means Committee, reflecting congressional concerns about how the government efficiency initiative may be handling Americans' most sensitive personal information.
