Social Security website keeps crashing, as DOGE demands cuts to IT staff

[placeholder]

The problems come as the Trump administration’s cost-cutting team, led by Elon Musk, has imposed a downsizing that’s led to 7,000 job cuts and is preparing to push out thousands more employees at an agency that serves 73 million Americans. The new demands from Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service include a 50 percent cut to the technology division responsible for the website and other electronic access...

Many of the network outages appear to be caused by an expanded fraud check system imposed by the DOGE team, current and former officials said.

Maybe that's the problem. But if it is, do that before tinkering with the software.

This is by design.  

 

Completely disable the SSA so that the idiots in charge have to "fix it".....while siphoning off billions for themselves.

I think it's just due to arrogance on their part.

What’s is the uptime percentage?

Its not the amount of the staff that makes an efficient and functioning IT system, its the competence and professionalism of the IT programmers. The U.S. Social Security system is full of unqualified and uneducated diversity and inclusion staff. The entire system needs a good flush.
