The National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026 would establish a permanent division within the DOJ to investigate large-scale fraud involving federal funds, while the Preventing Rip-offs and Obtaining Oversight of Funds (PROOF) Act would require states to disclose data from government-funded programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF.
