Social Security Office of Inspector General (OIG) has issued a report on direct deposit fraud, that is, cases where Social Security benefits were misdirected because of unauthorized bank account information changes made through "my Social Security". Below is a chart from the brief stub of the report that was issued to the public. Apparently, OIG regards this as too sensitive to release to the public because it discusses methods the agency is using to deter and detect fraud.

"in a September 2016 report, we recommended SSA
identify and implement appropriate technology that results in a high
level of confidence in the identity of my Social Security users. As
of June 2019, the Agency had not implemented the
recommendation"
--Was that recommendation the two-factor authentication using a cellphone/smartphone?
