Show full summary
- Agencies would have to provide payment purpose, Treasury Account Symbol, and activity code for each payment and attest at least once per year that the information is accurate. Required payment data must be posted publicly within 30 days after certification, with exemptions for sensitive operations.
- Treasury and Do Not Pay managers would receive access to the National Directory of New Hires, select tax return details for at least three tax years, and Social Security name, date of birth, and number to help identify, prevent, and recover improper payments. Redisclosure to authorized agents and contractors would be allowed under privacy-preserving safeguards.
- Recipients would see bank-account pre-certification and cross-checking against other payment records as part of payment verification. Agencies must report aggregated totals for payments exempted from public posting in their annual budget justification annexes.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Stronger checks to stop bad payments
If enacted, agencies would verify bank account details before certifying a payment. They would compare the account to other payment records, and Treasury could issue guidance on the checks. Treasury would also get access, for Do Not Pay use only, to select tax return items for at least three taxable years. It would get names, birth dates, and Social Security numbers from SSA, and access to the National Directory of New Hires. Some credit report rules would change to allow these uses. Data could be shared only with authorized agents and agencies to find, stop, and recover improper payments. These disclosures would begin after enactment.
Public tracking of federal payments
If enacted, agencies would post a short description for every Treasury-paid federal payment. Posts would show the purpose, the funding account, and the activity type. The data would go on the federal spending website within 30 days after a payment is certified. At least once each fiscal year, officials would review accuracy, and agency heads would attest in writing. Disbursing officials would consult with certifying officials to improve systems. The Treasury Secretary could issue rules to run this. Payments tied to sensitive law enforcement or national security could be withheld when posting could risk safety or reveal information barred by law, including work with state, local, or tribal partners. Agencies would then include grouped totals in the next and future budget justifications, with a classified annex if needed. Disbursing officials would not face new legal liability for actions under these rules.
