HR 8343 United States House · 118th Congress

Enhancing Improper Payment Accountability Act

This bill requires federal agencies to improve transparency around improper payments and fraud risks. It mandates that agencies report on programs failing to submit required improper payment reports, identify new programs (with over $100 million in first three years of operation) as susceptible to significant improper payments, and submit annual anti-fraud reports to Congress. These reports must detail fraud risk management structures, risk profiles, and anti-fraud strategies for all programs, including justifications for any gaps. The law directly affects all executive agencies managing federal programs and activities. It aims to strengthen accountability by making agencies document and address payment errors and fraud vulnerabilities.
