Summary
This bill would create a government-wide _mandatory antifraud and improper payment training program_. The program is run by the Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget with guidance from the Office of Personnel Management and sets a five-part curriculum on fraud risk, federal guidance and analytics, Treasury systems like Do Not Pay, reporting suspected fraud, and internal controls.
Show full summary
- Federal program administrators: Agency heads must ensure employees who serve as program administrators, financial managers, grants managers, auditing officials, or disbursement certifying officials complete the Program within 180 days of appointment and at least once every two years.
- State, local, and Tribal administrators: Treasury must offer the Program to these officials, provide technical assistance, and may condition federal grant eligibility on completion. The offer explicitly includes the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
*Authorizes $5.0 million for the Bureau of the Fiscal Service for fiscal year 2027 and each fiscal year thereafter to carry out the Program, which would increase federal spending by that amount if Congress appropriates the funds.*

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Annual reports to Congress on training
If enacted, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of OMB, with OPM, would report to two Congressional oversight committees about the training program. The first report would be due not later than two years after enactment. Reports would be required annually after that. Reports must include participation rates and an assessment of the program's effectiveness in reducing fraud.
Annual $5 million for training
If enacted, the bill would authorize $5,000,000 to be appropriated each year starting in fiscal year 2027 for the Bureau of the Fiscal Service to carry out the training program. This is an authorization of funding; Congress would still need to appropriate the money.
New anti-fraud training for program staff
If enacted, Treasury and OMB would set up a government-wide anti-fraud and improper payment training program. Covered federal staff would include program administrators, financial managers, grants managers, auditing officials, disbursement certifying officials, and similar oversight roles. New appointees would have to finish the training within 180 days of appointment, current staff within 180 days of the program's effective date, and everyone at least once every two years. OPM would provide a certification and records system to show who completed the training. The training would teach how to spot fraud, use guidance and Treasury tools (including the Do Not Pay system), report suspected fraud, and set up internal controls. The Treasury would also offer the training and technical help to State, local (including DC and territories), and Tribal staff who run federally funded programs, and agencies could make grant eligibility depend on completion by those nonfederal administrators.
