## Summary

**Stop fraud and improper payments across federal programs by declaring them a national fiscal emergency and pushing pre-payment checks.** The resolution summarizes findings that trillions have been improperly paid and urges governmentwide, prevention-focused reforms led by a White House Task Force and federal enforcement actions. - Families and taxpayers: The text says taxpayers shoulder these losses and cites annual fraud estimates of **$233 billion to $521 billion**, with the average tax filer bearing about **$1,000 to $3,000** per year. - Program beneficiaries: The resolution says fraud and improper payments delay or block services for eligible people and points to pandemic-era spending expansions of about **$4.6 trillion** as a major source of vulnerability. - State, local, and providers: It highlights weak state controls and ongoing probes in Minnesota and California, and documents rapid enforcement steps that suspended nearly **450** hospice and home health providers amid **$600 million** in estimated fraud. *Frames federal improper payments and fraud as placing significant strain on the federal ledger, citing $186 billion in estimated improper payments in FY2025 and large annual fraud estimates.*
