Federal Fraud Prevention Workforce Training Act
Federal employees who oversee government spending, award grants, or approve disbursements will be required to complete fraud-prevention training within six months of being hired and retake it every two years. The coursework trains officials to evaluate financial risks, report suspected abuse, and use verification tools like the Treasury Department's "Do Not Pay" database to prevent improper payments. State, local, territorial, and tribal personnel who run federally funded programs will also be able to take the training and receive technical assistance at no cost.
