says Last week, Treasury went live with its first automated payment verification system. In total, $334 million in improper payment requests were identified and rejected due to: -Missing budget codes -Invalid budget codes (i.e. the payment was not linked to the budget) -Budget codes with no authorization (i.e. the budget had already been fully spent) I'm sure there is more to this in terms of payment verification and how it works, and if this is a big change what the barriers were to such verifications previously. I remember Elon making claims the first week or so about payments being made without budget codes but I don't believe anything he says. I am aware that as of the end of Feb US has spent more than previously and deficit was iirc 3x the January deficit. |
I’m sure Musk authorizes all payments to go into his account. |
