If what they say is true, then it sounds like the treasury simply handles the logistics of payments already approved by congresses or wherever. If that's the case then it makes sense they would always approve payments because the money has already been allocated by a higher entity.

Maybe? I guess the question then is why is there even an approval step if everything was already approved?

Maybe it's more of a verification step? Confirming that yes that's what was described by Congress as the recipient

Maybe Congress allocates the money towards a purpose, but treasury is in charge of figuring out where the money needs to be sent and verifying that it is being used for what congress allocated it for.

Sure, they could internally review and certify that a payment request is accurate and fully supported by audits and compliance checks. Then, they could submit that certified request to the U.S. Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service (unless we replace them with elected representatives as well! Better get more congressmen). The Bureau of the Fiscal Service verifies the documentation and confirms sufficient appropriated funds. Afterward, they can initiate the payment electronically integrated with the Federal Reserve to settle the funds between the government and the recipient's bank account. Finally, the transaction is reconciled and reported through internal and external oversight. I see no issue with this.

Still, the possibility that government officials might try to use the federal payments system β€” which essentially functions as the nation's checkbook β€” to enact a political agenda is unprecedented, said Mark Mazur, who served in senior Treasury Department roles during the Obama and Biden administrations.

"This is a mechanical job β€” they pay Social Security benefits, they pay vendors, whatever. It's not one where there's a role for nonmechanical things, at least from the career standpoint. Your whole job is to pay the bills as they're due," Mazur said. "It's never been used in a way to execute a partisan agenda. … You have to really put bad intentions in place for that to be the case."

I think the payments are already approved and this thing just does ACH transfers?? Is Musk stupid?

It's sounds like treasury accounting/ cash management. I did this for a few years for a local school district. I would make the transfers to different accounts (payroll,AP, bond payments). Basically everything is pre approved and I would just execute the payments and enter the transfers into the accounting software

Even if a payment is pre-approved, the bank processing it still needs additional approval steps for anti-money-laundering, OFAC violations, etc. It's not really obvious that, for example, the Treasury is authorized to pay people who have been placed on the OFAC SDN list by the Treasury itself.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Lmao yes because U.S. Treasury officials are required to screen payments against OFACs lists of sanctioned or terrorist-designated entities, and if a payment is flagged, it is fricking denied or further reviewed annd not hecking" automatically approved". Saying that Treasury payment approval officers are instructed to "always approve" payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups, and that they "never denied a payment in their entire career," is fricking r-slurred unless he means that "they didn't" yeah because the fricking computer does. This BIPOC is def high.

He's just trying to get support for daddy to seize control in contravention of the Constitution.

This is a very misleading statement. PAs are just responsible for processing payments. Higher ups actually determine where payments go and to who. And yes the US does do business with terrorists. Why is that surprising?
