U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas gave permission for four DOGE employees to access the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which essentially serves as the checkbook for the federal government. Vargas said she would no longer require the Trump administration to get permission from the court before expanding access to other DOGE representatives.

The ruling found that the Trump administration had shown it set up a process to appropriately vet and train the employees.

A federal judge has ruled that certain DOGE employees will be permitted to access Treasury payment and data systems after completing required security training.
