Implementing DOGE Act

This bill would cut nonsecurity discretionary spending across the board if total federal appropriations grow by more than 1% from the previous year. The size of the cut equals the amount of growth above 1%, and it’s applied evenly across all nonsecurity discretionary accounts. The cut happens after full-year funding is in place for the entire government each year, starting in fiscal year 2026.

In short, if Congress increases overall annual funding by more than 1%, this triggers an automatic, uniform rollback on the nonsecurity side to bring that extra growth back down.

• Who is affected: Federal programs funded through nonsecurity discretionary appropriations.
• What changes: An automatic, across-the-board cut equal to any growth above 1% from the prior year, applied pro rata to those programs.
• When: Each fiscal year starting in 2026, after full-year government funding is enacted for that year.
