Summary
Creates a government-wide duty for the Comptroller General at the Government Accountability Office to produce regular vulnerability assessments of federally funded programs run by states, localities, and pass-through entities. It would target program areas and administrative practices that raise the risk of waste, fraud, abuse, and improper payments and offer recommendations to improve eligibility checks and enrollment processes.

- Families and program participants could see fewer improper payments and clearer eligibility processes if agencies act on assessment recommendations.

- Federal agencies and Congress would receive evidence-based assessments every two years and recommendations to guide oversight, audits, and program-integrity reforms.
