H.R. 8464: Stopping Fraudulent Payments Act
Sponsor
James Comer
Republican · KY-1
What H.R. 8464 does
Federal agencies sometimes send out payments that turn out to be fraudulent or improper. H.R. 8464 would direct agencies to pause, add conditions to, or split up payment requests before certifying them when they have good reason to think a payment carries an elevated risk of fraud or improper payment.
The action must rest on documented fraud-risk indicators, apply only to the risky portion of the payment, and last no longer than needed to verify eligibility or accuracy. Treasury would have to send certified payment requests back to the agency when its Do Not Pay system flags an elevated fraud risk. Federal employees would not be personally liable for good-faith actions under the bill.
