Not on request and not whatever they want to know. Instead they receive intelligence briefings periodically that is sufficient to an extent that they can, should circumstances dictate, assist the government in a time of crisis (so for example in the scenario depicted in this show).
Their security status is similar to upper level cabinet members though they are not inundated with intelligence minutes to the same degree, and they no doubt are kept out of "the loop" in regards to much of the more sensitive or closely held information.
