GovInfo identifies Public Law 119-77, approved February 10, 2026, as S. 269, the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act, with the full title "An act to improve coordination between Federal and State agencies and the Do Not Pay working system." Its legislative history records House passage on January 12, 2026.

Bean's office said the DOGE Caucus founder and co-chair delivered remarks supporting S. 269, described it as protecting taxpayer dollars from fraud and preventing Social Security benefit checks from going to deceased Americans, and said the legislation had passed the House and Senate.
Assessments
Bean materially engaged with the DOGE agenda during the same House term by co-chairing the House DOGE Caucus, supporting DOGE-linked improper-payment legislation, speaking for S. 269 before it became Public Law 119-77, and voting for H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025, which became law and rescinded specified unobligated funds. These actions partially advanced the promise to reduce waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars. However, the evidence does not show that Bean personally delivered a broad or comprehensive rein-in of reckless federal spending, and reporting raised doubts about the DOGE Caucus's direct involvement in DOGE decisions, so full delivery is not warranted.
Bean took concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise: he helped launch and co-chaired the House DOGE Caucus, participated in DOGE-related congressional activity, introduced or backed legislation aimed at improper-payment controls, and voted for H.R. 4, a rescissions bill that became Public Law 119-28 and reduced specified unobligated federal spending. However, the evidence does not show that Bean personally delivered a comprehensive DOGE partnership or broadly stopped taxpayer-dollar abuse; DOGE savings are self-reported and not attributable to Bean, and reporting suggested the caucus had limited involvement in DOGE decisions. This supports partial fulfillment with serious effort, not full delivery.
