Whistleblower Claims Forced Removal: SSA Chief Data Officer Accuses Agency of Mishandling Sensitive Data

On Friday, the Social Security Administration’s Chief Data Officer, Chuck Borges, allegedly communicated to staff that he was involuntarily removed from his position following his submission of a whistleblower complaint this week. The complaint reportedly alleged mishandling of sensitive agency data by the administration. Minutes after the email was distributed, it mysteriously vanished from employee inboxes, according to two sources within the SSA.
