February 17, 2025 – DOGE: An identification code linking Treasury payments to a budget line item was optional; $4.7 Trillion in payments was left blank and untraceable

The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).

In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to @USTreasury for the great work.
