The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced the deactivation of over 200,000 unused government credit cards within a span of three weeks. This announcement was made in a post on X on March 10.
According to DOGE's post, this development is part of a government pilot program aimed at auditing unused and unnecessary credit cards. The recent efforts by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of the Interior have contributed significantly to this progress.
At the beginning of the audit, there were approximately 4.6 million active government credit cards and accounts, as said in the post on X. While early results indicate reductions, DOGE emphasized that with 4.6 million accounts to review, there remains more work to be done to ensure proper accountability.
