Special Edition: Credit Union Member Concerns Regarding DOGE Access to Treasury Payments System

We are aware of the new Department of Government Efficiency’s accessing of the U.S. Department of the Treasury Fiscal Service’s payments system. We understand that this has caused confusion and concern for many of our members. At this time, there is no indication that personal financial or identifying information has been compromised or shared outside of the Treasury or the federal government. The Treasury Department has assured lawmakers that ‘read only’ access was provided to individuals with security clearances and privileges appropriate for viewing this information. Furthermore, we are unaware of any changes made in the system, there have been no impacts to payments at this time, and there have been repeated assurances that payments related to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will not be impacted at any time. We are committed to safeguarding your personal financial information.

A judge has temporarily limited access to the payments system, prohibiting the two employees who have been given access to “read-only” mode and prohibiting them from sharing data with anyone outside the agency.
