In 2022, in coordination with the General Directorate of Budget (DIGEPRES), the Ministry of Public Administration (MAP) and the Comptroller General of the Republic, those parallel payrolls were eliminated and all personnel were integrated into a single formal payroll within the SIGEF.\n\n\n

In 2026, the payroll was reduced to 695 servers, with a monthly cost close to RD$27 million. The institution attributes the budgetary increase recorded in intermediate years to the accounting formalization of payments that previously remained dispersed in unconsolidated internal structures.\n\nThe report from Bajo el Foco was based on the budget execution records from the FEDA portal, where the chapter on remunerations and contributions went from RD$207,935,000 in 2021 to RD$404,748,048 in 2025.\n\n\n
