Delivering On Government Efficiency in Spending Act

Increased Transparency: The bill requires that for each payment, the agency head must provide a brief description of its purpose, the specific account it is drawn from, and the type of activity being reported (Sec. 2, subsection (b)). This information is then made available on a public website (Sec. 2, subsection (d)).

Improved Payment Accuracy: Agency officials are required to take necessary actions to ensure payments are accurate, which includes verifying bank account information and comparing it to other existing payment records (Sec. 3, subsection (b)(5)(e)).

Prevention of Fraud and Improper Payments: The Secretary of the Treasury is granted access to several data sources, such as the National Directory of New Hires and Social Security information, specifically to help identify, prevent, and recover improper or fraudulent payments (Sec. 3, subsection (a) and (e)).

Reduced Transparency for Sensitive Operations: Information regarding payments for "sensitive operations"—which include domestic law enforcement or national security activities that could lead to death or serious bodily injury—will be exempted from the mandatory public reporting requirements (Sec. 2, subsection (e)).

Increased Data Sharing: The bill allows for the sharing of personal information, such as names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers from the Social Security Administration, as well as various tax return details, with the Secretary of the Treasury, its agents, contractors, and other authorized Federal and State agencies (Sec. 3, subsections (d) and (e)).

Use of Consumer Reports for Disbursement Changes: The bill includes provisions that allow for changes to Federal disbursements, including terminations, that are based on consumer reports to improve disbursement accuracy (Sec. 3, subsection (c)(1)(A)(ii)).
