PROOF Act
16 September 2026 | Passed House (217-207)
What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)
Summary: The bill would require states to share information with federal law enforcement agencies to help investigate and prosecute fraud in major federal assistance programs, including Medicaid, food stamps, and temporary aid to families. It aims to protect privacy by limiting how federal agencies can use the shared information—only for fraud-related investigations—and requires the Department of Justice to report annually to Congress on how often it requests this information and what results those investigations produce.
