Support for National Fraud Enforcement Act

Speaker.

I'm proud to stand today in strong support of the National Fraud

Enforcement Division Act.

In California, we've lost at least $180

billion to fraud across state programs.

That is money meant for our seniors, veterans,

families, and students in need, not criminals gaming the

system.

Under Vice President Vance's Anti-Fraud Task Force,

we have made real progress, uncovering more than

$245 billion in fraud across the nation

and sending fraudsters a very clear message:

their days stealing from Americans with impunity

are over.

For too long, our federal response to fraud has been

fragmented and disorganized, with no central

office leading the charge. This bill brings

everything together

so we have one goal, one game plan, and one

team reading from the same playbook.

I've been working to better coordinate our federal response to fraud with my

No More Scams Act, and I'm proud to support this

ironclad effort to hold these criminals accountable.

Americans work hard for every dollar they earn.

The least they deserve is a government that fights

just as hard to protect their taxpayer dollars.

With that, thank you, and I yield back.
