Treasury stopped nearly $100M in taxpayer money from going to dead people after new gov't measure implemented: https://nypost.com/2026/07/21/us-news/treasury-stopped-nearly-100-million-in-taxpayer-money-from-going-to-dead-people/
I just signed an Executive Order enabling the U.S. Treasury to modernize its payments system, in order to reduce waste, fraud and abuseâ¦
We have an executive order for your attention relating, actually, to government payments. Historically, checks issued by the Treasury are, I believe, 14 times more likely to become the subject of fraud than electronic transfer payments. This is an executive order that's going to push the Treasury Department to modernize its payment system to ensure that, where possible, they're using electronic methods of payment as opposed to paper checks in order to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the government, which is obviously an endeavor that we've been pursuing in numerous aspects of government under your leadership. It's basically modernization of equipment and methods, and it's something that really I think he's going to be a great Secretary of the Treasury wanted, Scott. And so we're doing this, and we have other modernization programs going on. We could let somebody else whoever's next, whoever that may be, do it, but it's something that should have been done 25, 30 years ago.
