Key Points

  • Congress is proposing a new group called the Federal Fraud Interagency Task Force. This group’s main job would be to find people who steal or misuse tax dollars and work to get that money back for the public.
  • The task force would include experts from nearly every major government department, including those focused on health, education, and veterans. These experts would share data and tools to catch scammers more quickly across different agencies.
  • A Director with at least 10 years of experience in law enforcement or fraud investigation would lead the group for a four-year term. They would be required to give a public report every year showing how many investigations they started and exactly how much money they recovered.
  • The group would also work with local and state police to investigate fraud cases. They plan to create training programs for government workers to help them spot 'red flags' and stop fraud before the money is even spent.
  • To make sure the task force is doing its job correctly, a separate government watchdog would audit their spending and operations every year.
