Forbes: Here's Everything We Know About DOGE Dividend Checks—And How They Could Contribute To Inflation
President Trump is considering a proposal for direct payments to Americans, potentially funded by savings from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Concerns about inflation arise from the potential economic impact of these payouts, reminiscent of past COVID-19 stimulus checks that contributed to rising prices. Proponents argue that targeting payments to net income tax-paying households may mitigate inflationary effects, but skepticism remains regarding the feasibility of achieving the projected savings.
