Alert: 5,000 dollars DOGE check is in danger in the United States
The stimulus would have its origin in the savings obtained through cost-cutting actions by the DOGE.

The much-talked-about $5,000 check that the Department of Governmental Efficiency of the United States (DOGE for its initials in English) would provide to taxpayer households, is at risk of being abruptly reduced.
The proposal regarding the distribution of this check, which would originate from the savings obtained by the DOGE through cost-cutting tasks, was put forward by the advisor and CEO of Azoria, James Fishback, who mentioned that 20% of the agency's savings could be distributed among taxpayers through a stimulus of around $5,000.
However, and despite the "green light" from Elon Musk himself, the main advisor of DOGE, as well as from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, Fishback stated that the proposed amount would be much lower than what was initially presented.
How much would the DOGE check be reduced to?
According to Fishback himself, the amount that the DOGE would deliver, in case of an optimal development of the stimulus, will depend entirely on the savings obtained by the agency at the time of the support's establishment.
As mentioned by the CEO of Azoria, if the DOGE's savings are around a trillion dollars, the check would be halved: from $5,000 to only $2,500.
"This plan is not predetermined to the $5,000 figure. If the savings exceed or fall short of that figure, consequently, it will be reflected in the check. So, I repeat, if the savings are only a trillion dollars, which I consider extremely low, the check goes from $5,000 to $2,500,” Fishback revealed.
When will the DOGE check be delivered?
Despite the speculative reduction, Fishback mentioned that it is still "early" to establish a specific or exact amount to be delivered. Therefore, he mentioned that he is working on drafting a bill to present this initiative to Congress.
This body will be responsible for approving or rejecting this proposal, so it is still too early to know the future of this initiative. Despite this, the DOGE itself has stated that it will be next year when advances on the project will be more accurately presented.
So far, Elon Musk has avoided speaking about this check. However, due to the initial response he gave to Fishback after the proposal, where he mentioned "I will consult with the president," it seems likely that the businessman will seek to materialize this aid.
