Elon Musk to deactivate credit cards for users not meeting new government requirements
The US government is tightening control over public funds by deactivating inactive cards and tightening loan checks, enhancing fiscal responsibility.
The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has deactivated nearly 300,000 federal credit cards in an effort to reduce spending and combat fraud.
US Government targets inactive, obsolete, or suspicious credit cards to cut unnecessary spending
This action is based on an audit that identified inactive cards assigned to outdated programs or suspicious activity. DOGE seeks to optimize the use of public resources and eliminate unnecessary spending.
The measure affects several federal agencies, including the General Services Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services. Priority was given to deactivating cards that have not been used recently or associated with individuals who are not active in government programs.
US Government tightens rules to prevent fraud and ensure fiscal responsibility
In addition to canceling cards, DOGE has implemented stricter measures in the Small Business Administration, such as age verification to prevent fraudulent loans to individuals under 18 or over 120 years of age.
These actions reflect the U.S. government's commitment to fiscal efficiency and integrity in the management of public funds, seeking to reduce federal spending and improve resource management.
