Moskowitz Statement on Reports of DOGE Gaining Access to Treasury Payment Systems

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Jared Moskowitz (FL-23) put out the following statement on reports of DOGE gaining access to Treasury payment systems:

“I have received countless calls from constituents expressing concern over reports that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has gained access to the Treasury’s payment system, which delivers critical Social Security and Medicare benefits that our seniors depend on. As the first Democrat to join the DOGE Caucus in Congress, I made explicitly clear that I will work across the aisle with colleagues in both the legislative and executive branches to make government more efficient — a goal that Americans across party lines share. But that cannot and should not include cuts to the Social Security and Medicare benefits that Floridians have paid into their entire lives and have earned for their retirements. Elon Musk and the DOGE should pledge today that Americans’ privacy will be protected and that the DOGE’s access to this system will not result in any missed or minimized payments for the millions of Americans who depend on earned benefits like these.”
