As of 9:00am this morning, six departments have yet to post their annual reports: Agriculture; Health & Human Services; Homeland Security; Justice; Treasury; and Veterans Affairs. The deadline to post was March 1, 2026.

Last year, reporting delays were tied to tampering of government database by two Virginia brothers who worked for Opexus, a federal contractor. Both then and now, the Department of Justice’s Office of Information Policy, which collects and reviews the annual reports, has declined to publicly explain the delays.
