Current Cost Footprint
USAspending's FY2026 Q3 top-tier record, code 024, reports budget authority of $384.43B, obligations of $146.61B, and outlays of $145.80B. USAspending reports a very large OPM footprint because retirement and insurance trust/benefit flows pass through the agency; operating reform must distinguish those flows from HR service capacity. Treat USAspending values as spending-system scale, not audited operating cost. Agency records can include benefits, trust funds, financing accounts, offsetting collections, and transfer flows.
