Bill overview
The Welfare Fraud Deterrence and Recovery Act of 2026 aims to combat welfare fraud by increasing criminal penalties for those who commit it, particularly targeting non-citizens. It establishes a task force to investigate and recover funds lost to fraud, and it creates a fund to reimburse federal welfare programs. The bill also strengthens immigration consequences for fraud convictions, including potential denaturalization for those convicted of welfare fraud, and facilitates cooperation between states and international agencies to investigate and recover fraudulent funds.
