HousePROOF Act
The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.
In brief
The Preventing Rip-offs and Obtaining Oversight of Funds (PROOF) Act requires states to provide the Department of Justice with any information requested to investigate or prosecute fraud within specific federally funded programs. This mandate applies to Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, and federal coronavirus response grants, as well as any other state-administered programs the department identifies as vulnerable to fraud. The bill restricts federal agencies from using this data for unrelated administrative or commercial purposes and requires annual reports to Congress regarding information requests and resulting convictions. Introduced by Representative Jefferson Van Drew (R-NJ), the bill passed the House and moved to the Senate for consideration.
