The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was tasked with finding and eliminating waste in the federal government. Former President Trump’s team proposed a “DOGE dividend,” suggesting 20% of DOGE savings could be returned to taxpayers as $5,000 stimulus checks.

政府效率部（DOGE）的任務是查找和消除聯邦政府的廢物。特朗普前總統的團隊提出了“門票股息”，這表明可以將20％的門檻儲蓄作為5,000美元的刺激支票退還給納稅人。

So far, DOGE has reported $160 billion in savings — enough for about $993 per taxpayer.

到目前為止，Doge報告了1600億美元的儲蓄 - 足以每位納稅人約993美元。

The proposal would limit eligibility to:

該提案將限制：

• Those who pay federal income tax in 2024.

•那些在2024年繳納聯邦所得稅的人。

• Dependents claimed on 2024 taxes would not receive a payment.

•要求2024稅的撫養人不會收到付款。

Retirees receiving taxable Social Security benefits may also be eligible if they meet the tax payment criteria.

如果符合稅款標準，獲得應稅社會保障福利的退休人員也可能有資格。

As of May 2, 2025, there is no law authorizing DOGE stimulus payments. Former President Trump’s campaign has mentioned the idea in emails to supporters and his campaign website mentions the proposal, but Congress has not passed any legislation to fund the checks.

截至2025年5月2日，沒有法律授權刺激刺激。前總統特朗普的競選活動已在電子郵件給支持者的電子郵件中提到了這一想法，他的競選網站提到了該提案，但國會尚未通過任何立法來資助支票。

Without congressional approval, the DOGE stimulus remains a campaign proposal — not an active government program.

未經國會批准，總督刺激仍然是一項競選建議，而不是一項積極的政府計劃。

Economic uncertainty has led to increased public interest in any potential relief programs. With concerns over inflation and the high cost of living, many Americans are interested in updates regarding possibilities for payments.

經濟不確定性導致對任何潛在救濟計劃的公共利益增加。由於擔心通貨膨脹和高昂的生活成本，許多美國人對有關付款可能性的最新信息感興趣。

However, experts advise against placing strong reliance on campaign emails or unofficial sources for updates on government programs or benefits.

但是，專家建議不要強烈依賴競選電子郵件或非正式資源以獲取有關政府計劃或福利的最新信息。
