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）的任务是查找和消除联邦政府的废物。特朗普前总统的团队提出了“门票股息”，这表明可以将20％的门槛储蓄作为5,000美元的刺激支票退还给纳税人。

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

到目前为止，Doge报告了1600亿美元的储蓄 - 足以每位纳税人约993美元。

The proposal would limit eligibility to:

该提案将限制：

• Those who pay federal income tax in 2024.

•那些在2024年缴纳联邦所得税的人。

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

•要求2024税的抚养人不会收到付款。

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

如果符合税款标准，获得应税社会保障福利的退休人员也可能有资格。

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，没有法律授权刺激刺激。前总统特朗普的竞选活动已在电子邮件给支持者的电子邮件中提到了这一想法，他的竞选网站提到了该提案，但国会尚未通过任何立法来资助支票。

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

未经国会批准，总督刺激仍然是一项竞选建议，而不是一项积极的政府计划。

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.

经济不确定性导致对任何潜在救济计划的公共利益增加。由于担心通货膨胀和高昂的生活成本，许多美国人对有关付款可能性的最新信息感兴趣。

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

但是，专家建议不要强烈依赖竞选电子邮件或非正式资源以获取有关政府计划或福利的最新信息。
