Make DOGE Permanent Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Make DOGE Permanent Act amends the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. OMB must establish a separate website hyperlink accessible solely to Members of Congress. Through that link, Members may obtain real-time access to updated versions of federal award information that otherwise appears on the public transparency site. For the congressional link, the definition of entity is expanded to include individual recipients of federal assistance and federal employees, categories that the public site normally excludes. OMB must update the Members-only information in real time and establish the hyperlink within six months after enactment. The bill gives congressional offices a wider oversight feed than the general public while requiring OMB systems to separate and protect nonpublic individual and employee payment data.
Who Benefits and How
Members of Congress benefit from real-time access to federal award data for oversight and constituent inquiries. Congressional oversight staff benefit from award data that includes individual assistance recipients and federal employee payments. Federal spending watchdogs benefit indirectly if Congress uses the expanded data to investigate waste or improper awards. Committees reviewing federal awards benefit from faster OMB data updates than public users receive.
Who Bears the Burden and How
OMB transparency staff must build a secure Members-only hyperlink within six months and maintain real-time data updates. Federal agencies may need to supply or validate data feeds that include individual recipients and federal employee payment records. Individual assistance recipients face broader congressional access to information excluded from the public transparency site. Federal employees face congressional visibility into payment information through the Members-only system.
