Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Nationwide anti-fraud training for public employees
Treasury and OMB would set up a government-wide anti-fraud training program, and OPM would certify completions. It would teach fraud risk checks and how to use GAO, OMB, Treasury, and NIST guidance and data tools. It would also cover the Do Not Pay system, how to report suspected fraud, and building strong internal controls. The program would start 180 days after enactment, and Treasury would issue rules within 180 days after that. State, local, and Tribal staff and contractors who run federally funded programs would be able to take it at no cost, with technical help to apply the standards.
Mandatory training for federal oversight staff
Federal agencies would need to ensure oversight staff complete the training. New hires in roles like program administrator, program officer, financial manager, disbursement certifying official, auditor, or grants manager would finish within 180 days of appointment. Current staff would finish within 180 days after the Act’s effective date. Everyone in these roles would repeat the training at least every two years.
Annual anti-fraud training report to Congress
Treasury and OMB would send Congress a report within two years of enactment and then every year. The report would show how many people took the training and how well it reduced fraud and improper payments.
