New Federal Directorate and Tools to Stop Fraud in Government Programs.

This law establishes the Federal Real Anti-fraud Unified Directorate (FRAUD) to coordinate efforts and prevent waste in federal spending programs. It mandates the use of advanced data analytics and identity verification in high-risk programs to protect taxpayer money. Agencies must also track and report on how these new controls affect the administrative burden on citizens seeking benefits.
Key points
Creation of the Federal Real Anti-fraud Unified Directorate (FRAUD) within the OMB to lead anti-fraud coordination across the government.

Establishment of a $1 billion Program Integrity Fund to finance new anti-fraud technologies and systems.
