Bernie Sanders has raised alarms over a reported plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by up to 50 percent .

The billionaire's Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) is pushing for deeper cuts in staffing and spending.

The Associated Press reported in late February that the federal agency has about 600,000 employees, meaning approximately 300,000 could be on the chopping block.
