This bill requires federal agencies to check each payment for fraud before sending it out. Checks would confirm the payee is real and not deceased, that bank account details are correct, and that funds are in the right account. First-time federal award recipients getting $50,000 or more would also have to file a one-time report on how they used the money.
This affects all federal agencies that send payments or grants, plus state and local governments running federally funded programs. It also covers private businesses, nonprofits receiving federal awards, and anyone whose information is stored in the related government databases.
Agencies that fail to collect the required reports must stop sending further payments to those recipients. Organizations or individuals who do not file the required report would lose access to additional federal funding.
