Russell Vought told House appropriators on June 30 that OMB has no plans for a final DOGE report, even as the cost-cutting unit’s mandate expires on July 4.
Vought said DOGE’s results are already embedded in lower appropriations and a rescissions package, offering to brief lawmakers instead of issuing formal documentation on spending cuts or staffing reductions.
DOGE’s end comes after a far quieter 2026: DOGE.gov went offline this month, the centralized effort had effectively disbanded months ago, and remaining work shifted toward citizen-services projects.
More than 260,000 federal employees left government under DOGE-led efforts, while some agencies have since rehired staff after saying cuts went too far; DOGE’s claimed $215 billion in savings remains disputed.
Separately, Vought said OMB has spent under $10 million of $100 million set aside for reorganization work and still aims to grow staffing to about 675 from 500.
