Registration reveals the ideas

Since the arrival of a team from the Ministry of Governmental efficiency at Elon Musk, social security is in a more dangerous place than it has been widely understood, according to Liland Dudik, Commissioner for Representation in Social Security Administration. “I don’t want the regime to collapse,” Dudik said at a closed meeting last week. He also said that “it would be catastrophic for people in our country,” if Dog had changed in his agency, it was sweeping like That is at the American Agency for International DevelopmentTreasury and others.

Dudek’s comments, which are delivered to a group of senior employees and social supporters who are attending personally and having an unusual window in the thinking of the Best Agency Officer in the first volatile first days of the Trump administration. Washington Post mentioned for the first time Dudik admits that Dog is calling on social security shots and quoted many of his data. But the full registration reveals that he went further, citing not only the measures I took in the agency by the people who have repeatedly called it “The Doge Kids”, but also extensive inputs received from the White House itself. When one of the participants in the meeting asked him why President Donald Trump did not invite him strongly False allegations of fraud continued widely “BS”, so we published, to the record, what is actually the numbers on our website. This deals with-Have you ever worked with someone who is an obsession? “

Throughout the meeting, Dudek made worrying data about the risks facing the social security system, but he did it unofficial and strangely. Many participants have left confusing the final fate of the largest and most popular social program in the country, and it serves 73 million Americans. “Will we break anything?” Dudek asked at some point, indicating what DOGE is doing with social security data. “I don’t know.”

After that, he said, in a more reassuring tone: “They learn. Let people learn. They will make mistakes.”

Dudek embodies the dramatic clouds of life as a government employee under Doug. Over the course of 25 years, bureaucracies were ultimately: an average analyst in the two levels between federal agencies, and eventually landed in social security management, focus on information technology, cyber security and fraud prevention. He was not much known even within the agency. But in February, he was suddenly accepted in the audience’s eye when he was placed on vacation to exchange information in a hidden manner with Dog. It seems that he may lose his job, but then he was unexpectedly promoted by the Trump administration to the position of acting commissioner. At that time, he seemed to be committed without reservation to the Doug’s business schedule, and writing – then delete – the loud LinkedIn function in which he expressed his pride in “the executives of the various agency, and the participation of executive contact information, and the circumvention of the driving chain to link Dog to the people who get things.”

Now, just weeks after his mandate, he was taking a more contradictory attitude towards not only Doj but Trump. On multiple occasions during the last week meeting, according to registration, Dudek has framing the options he has taken in recent weeks as the “President” agenda. These options included the planned cuts of at least 7,000 social security employees; Early acquisitions are provided to all 57,000 employees, including those who work in Field offices and television services centers to help the elderly and the disabled in the program; Discounts to Disability Determination Services; Solve the team that was working to improve the user experience Ssa.gov website And the application process; Reducing the agency’s fingerprint throughout the country from 10 regional offices to four; End 64 properties, including those for some office spaces and field offices; Suggestions for the use of external sources of social security customer service; And more.

“I am working for the president. Dodik said, according to the registration:” I need to do what the president tells me to do. “He later added:” I had to make some difficult options and options that I did not agree with, but the president wanted that and I did so. “

At another point, Dudek said, “I don’t want anyone to launch,” but “many of the structural changes that I saw at the headquarters, have had long talks with the White House about, and the Doug team … This does not mean that I do not have some of the next difficult options. The president has a agenda. I am political. I need to follow this agenda.”

Dudik also refused more than once for Trump’s allegations about social security fraud, which the president exaggerates a few hours later A speech in front of Congress He pointed out that millions of people who are more likely to be over 100 are receiving social security. Dudik said that there is already 110 years old and the elderly in one of the social security databases that the DOGE team is searching for, but these people are “not in payment”-they are not actually paid. “These are records that we have never bothered,” he said.

However, Dudik and two of his deputies, who also spoke intermittently at the meeting, seemed to resist Trump’s mistakes openly. They faced a spokesman to say that they are proud of a modern size The press statement, in a moderate language, was indirectly contradicting Some wrong claims. The other official said that Dog’s account of the death of the dead who received the benefits of “before us”, but “it is a victory that you do not see more (wrong information), because they are learning.”

Dudek spokesperson, Social Security Management, White House and Elon Musk did not respond to the suspension requests.

Dudek’s comments come at a time when many social security employees feel confused towards Dudek, its role against Doge’s and what this means for the future of the Social Security Administration, according to ProPublica conversations with more than twenty employees. Many said that, given that the recent discounts in the agency have been implemented in a gradual way, the audience does not seem to be distributed on what is happening in the program, which is on the anniversary of the nineties this year.

The demobilization of workers-and the ghost that is waving on the horizon by thousands of employees who take the acquisition of the deadline on Friday-means less attention to the complex cases of the low-income elderly and persons with physical and intellectual disabilities, As mentioned by ProPublica.

Meanwhile, many employees said that Dougi, who was filmed by Musk as a team of technical competence geniuses, has actually undermined the efficiency of providing services in social security in multiple ways. Under Doge, many contracts of social security have been canceled. Now, tell five ProPublica employees, their technical systems seem to be disrupted almost every day, which leads to more delay in the service of beneficiaries. They said this was really a problem, but it became “much worse” and it is “not the rule.”

And under Doug policy in many agenciesSocial Security staff in the front line has been restricted to the use of government purchase cards for any amount of more than one dollar. One employee at the administration said that this is a major problem in some field offices, especially when workers need to obtain copies of vital records or original documents-birth certificates and the like-required to address some social security claims.

“Election has consequences,” Dudek wrote in an email on March 1 to the agency.

At the meeting last week, Dudek was asked about many of these organizational changes, according to registration. Regarding the closure and unification of regional offices, as well as the discounts in the agency part that helps in assessing deficit claims, which have already accumulated, he said: “It has been at the level of management. That was not my first preference. I think we need to see what will happen in terms of repercussions.”

He said, “Once again, I am working for the president. Dog is part of that.”

Instead, Dudik, who was scheduled to speak for only 15 minutes, according to a copy of the agenda, spoke about an hour, talking about everything from his upbringing by a handicapped mother who relied on social security, to the 1989 book entitled “Bureaucracy” that refers to Trump. The fluctuation between the participation of the fears of the defenders of the weak social security recipients continued to adhere to some of what Dog is trying to do in his agency.

He said: “I really love having children,” he said, adding that although they were not aware of the “nuances” of social security, he was trying to make them more thinking. “They are thinking about working differently.”

He emphasized that the members of the Doge team have broad access to the social security numbers for the Americans and other personal data, but he claimed that if they wanted to do anything illegal with this information, he has investigated them and perhaps a trial. He said he wanted to increase resources for field offices and customer service, even when the front -lines workers received offers like other employees.

All the time, Dudek confirmed that he wants constructive notes and open conversation, because he deeply cares about the social security management and the people you serve. He was honest in the shortcomings: “I was in a role that I did not expect to be in.” “I am a man of information technology and a fraud men.”

Dudek will eventually be replaced by Frank Pesiniano, Trump’s long -term choice of social security management. Sometimes, Dudik looked deadly.

“I am the evil one,” he said in the registration. “I will not get a job after this. Get it.”
