Unlikely to pass

While fraud prevention is generally popular, many bills introduced without broad bipartisan support fail to move past the committee stage.

Key Points

This bill requires states to tell the federal government about any waste, fraud, or abuse they find in their Medicaid home care programs. These programs help seniors and people with disabilities live at home instead of in nursing homes.
Starting in 2026, states would have to submit yearly reports. These reports must include details on the specific fraud they found and what steps they are taking to stop it from happening again.
The goal is to make sure tax dollars for home care are being used correctly. By tracking fraud more closely, the government hopes to protect the budget and ensure that people who truly need help can get it.
