A federal appeals court tossed out a lower court’s order temporarily barring DOGE’s access to people’s information.

In addition to the Office of Personnel Management's systems, the court allowed DOGE to have continued access to those maintained by the departments of Treasury and Education. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overturned a lower court’s injunction that initially blocked DOGE’s access.

The decision cited a Supreme Court order in June granting DOGE analysts sweeping access to other data stored at the Social Security Administration.
