This legislation mandates a comprehensive audit of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) computer systems and networks. The Comptroller General will conduct this audit, specifically examining systems accessed by the United States DOGE Service and affiliated personnel, to identify security vulnerabilities and software bugs. The audit will also determine if any federal privacy laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Federal Information Security Management Act, have been violated. Within one year, the Comptroller General must submit a detailed report to Congress and the SSA Commissioner, outlining findings and recommending legislative or administrative actions. Following receipt of this report, the SSA Commissioner is required to fix all identified vulnerabilities and bugs within 90 days and subsequently report the status of these fixes to the congressional committees.
