View submission: A Legal Researcher's Guide to Trump Anti-Trans Executive Orders

The SSA Commissioner can only be fired for cause and the agency cannot generally be bound by executive orders. Trump does appoint them, and they theoretically could roll things back, but I find it unlikely as it would undermine the agency's independence.

Past SSA records might be in the casefile, but going through each and every casefile in the US would be a logistical nightmare. Highly unlikely they will be touched.
