Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act restricts access to Social Security data for political appointees and special government employees.

The Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act amends the Social Security Act to prohibit political appointees and special government employees from accessing beneficiary data systems. It establishes civil penalties for unauthorized access or disclosure of beneficiary information, allowing individuals to bring civil actions for damages. The bill also mandates investigations by the Inspector General of the Social Security Administration for violations and requires the Comptroller General to report on these violations to Congress.
