DOGE Uncovers $645 Million in Federal Loans Awarded to Children and the Elderly Under Biden Administration

In a shocking revelation, the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced Sunday that the Biden-Harris administration approved hundreds of millions of dollars in federal loans and grants to businesses allegedly owned by children under 11 and individuals over 115 years old—raising serious questions about fraud and oversight in federal spending.

According to the agency’s report, the Small Business Administration (SBA) issued $312 million in loans to companies claiming owners under the age of 11. Another $333 million was distributed to businesses reportedly led by centenarians—some listed as old as 157 years.

“While it is possible to have legal business arrangements under a child’s name, it is highly unlikely in these 5,593 cases,” DOGE stated. “Each loan was linked to a Social Security Number mismatched with the name provided.”

The loans, many tied to COVID-era programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, were largely forgiven after recipients claimed to use the funds to avoid staff layoffs.

Fraud, Waste, and Political Connections

In another bombshell, DOGE also uncovered that a former Biden transition team member was connected to a nonprofit that received over $500 million in federal funding to manage a migrant housing facility in Texas—a facility that was never used. The nonprofit reported no other revenue sources at the time of its application.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk—appointed as President Trump’s advisor on government efficiency—met with House Republicans last week to discuss an ambitious plan to eliminate $1 trillion in government waste. Despite some skepticism from GOP lawmakers, polling shows 72% of Americans support DOGE’s mission, and Trump has hinted at possible “DOGE dividends,” or taxpayer rebates, from the agency’s savings.

Supreme Court Sides with Trump Administration Over Spending Freeze

In a major legal victory, the U.S. Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, sided with the Trump administration’s decision to freeze $2 billion in scheduled payments to USAID contractors, pending a fraud investigation initiated by DOGE.

Officials say while the payments may eventually resume, further review is underway to identify signs of waste or abuse in foreign aid spending.

Last week, Pete Marocco, Trump’s nominee for deputy administrator of USAID, testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to provide an update on the agency’s internal review.

Potential Criminal Charges Loom

During the closed-door briefing, Marocco indicated that DOGE’s investigation—guided by findings from Musk’s initiative—may result in criminal referrals to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“Apparently, there’s still judicial action unfolding,” said Rep. Keith Self (R-TX), who attended the meeting. “They intend to refer USAID officials to DOJ. Fraud is a criminal act.”

This latest development adds to mounting pressure on the administration amid ongoing scrutiny over pandemic-related funding, foreign aid accountability, and domestic spending oversight.

Summary of DOGE’s Findings:

• $312M disbursed to businesses listed under children under age 11

• $333M granted to companies allegedly run by people over 115 years old

• 5,593+ loans flagged for SSN/name mismatches

• $500M+ awarded to politically connected nonprofit for an unused migrant facility

• $2B in USAID contracts frozen pending fraud investigation

• Criminal referrals being prepared against agency officials

As DOGE continues its sweeping review of government programs, both Congress and the public are bracing for what could be one of the largest crackdowns on federal mismanagement in recent history.
