The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a newly enacted presidential advisory board focused on restructuring the federal government, slashing expenditures, and reducing regulations. These changes are aimed at reducing costs, which could theoretically come at a cost to millions of Americans who rely on critical government benefits.
We aim to reduce the U.S. federal budget by up to $2 trillion through measures such as reducing waste, abolishing redundant agencies, and downsizing the federal workforce.
The AFGE expressed concerns about DOGE's potential impact on social programs, stating, "Budget cuts of this magnitude... will affect vital programs that tens of millions of Americans currently rely on for their financial security and their health and safety. This includes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, food assistance for low-income families, veterans’ benefits and health care, and so much more.”

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a Presidential Advisory Commission established on January 20, 2025, to modernize Federal technology and improve governmental efficiency and productivity.
DOGE officially focuses on modernizing federal technology, improving
administrative processes, and identifying inefficiencies within government agencies.
DOGE’s leader Elon Musk aims to reduce the U.S. federal budget by up to $2 trillion, which could be achieved through measures such as reducing waste, abolishing redundant agencies, and downsizing the federal workforce.
According to CBS News, DOGE aims to dismantle Government Bureaucracy,
slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.
No, DOGE can only make recommendations. Significant budget cuts or
restructuring would require additional executive actions or congressional
approval.
By modernizing technology and streamlining processes, DOGE could make
some government services more efficient, accessible, and user-friendly.
If DOGE recommends significant budget cuts or reallocations to fund
modernization, some benefit programs could face reduced funding. The
American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has stated that DOGE
has potential impacts on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, food
assistance for low-income families, veterans’ benefits and health care and more.
