This bill would require certain federal employees to complete a training course on spotting and preventing fraud and improper payments. The training would need to be repeated at least every two years. It would cover topics like identifying fraud risks, verifying payments, setting up internal controls, and reporting suspected waste or abuse.
Federal employees who manage government programs, handle payments, or oversee grants would be required to take the training. State, local, and tribal government workers running federally funded programs could also access it, and agencies could require it for federal grant recipients.
Without consistent training, employees across agencies may apply different or incomplete standards when reviewing payments and grants. This bill would create a shared, government-wide approach to fraud detection and require annual reports to Congress on how the program is working.
