Condemning actors seeking to defraud the United States Government, and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that governmentwide fraud and improper payment prevention reforms will meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of the United States, and that Federal program eligibility should be verified before payment.

House Resolution 1335 condemns individuals and organizations that attempt to defraud federal government programs and calls on Congress to support stronger fraud prevention measures across all federal agencies. The resolution expresses the House's position that verifying eligibility for federal benefits before making payments would help reduce improper payments and save taxpayer money. It applies broadly to government operations but does not establish any new laws or specific requirements—instead, it represents a statement of congressional intent regarding how federal programs should operate.

The resolution was introduced as part of broader concern about fraud and waste in federal spending, issues that have gained attention from both parties in recent years. Government audits have consistently found that federal agencies make billions of dollars in improper payments annually, ranging from duplicate benefits to payments to ineligible recipients. While the resolution is nonbinding and carries no enforcement power, it reflects bipartisan interest in improving government accountability and protecting federal funds, though lawmakers may disagree on which programs are most vulnerable to fraud or how best to balance fraud prevention with program accessibility.
