Overview

The Stopping Fraudulent Payments Act aims to reduce fraud and improper payments in federal programs by giving executive agencies authority to temporarily pause, condition, or segment payment voucher requests. Agencies must base these actions on documented fraud-risk indicators and limit the duration to ensure accurate verification. The Treasury Department will return payment vouchers for further review if elevated risks are identified, and government officials are protected from personal liability for actions taken in good faith under this legislation.

Key provisions

Agencies can temporarily delay or segment payment voucher requests if an elevated risk of fraud is identified.
Agency actions must be based on documented fraud-risk indicators.
The Treasury Department will return payment vouchers for review if elevated risks are detected.
Payees will be notified of paused or segmented payments and given a process to contest inaccuracies.

Agencies can segment routine payments while holding high-risk portions for review.
Exceptions may be granted for law enforcement activities to protect ongoing investigations.
