  "summary": "The US House of Representatives has passed two anti-fraud bills that will strengthen federal oversight of taxpayer-funded programs and create a new division within the Department of Justice. 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. Both bills now move to the Senate for consideration.",
