What this bill would do
Official summary · Congressional Research ServiceFederal Fraud Prevention Workforce Training Act
This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Department of the Treasury to establish and maintain a mandatory antifraud and improper payment prevention training program for federal employees whose roles involve federal financial assistance or oversight of federal programs. The program must also be made available to state, local, and tribal governments to train relevant personnel.
Under the bill, federal agencies must ensure that all federal employees in roles involving oversight of federal programs or federal financial assistance complete the training every two years. (Such positions include program administrator or officer, financial administrator or manager, disbursement certifying official, auditing official, and grants manager.) The Office of Personnel Management shall certify and maintain records of completion.
Treasury must also provide the program and related technical assistance to state, local, and tribal governments for training employees who are responsible for the administration of federally funded programs. Federal agencies may make completion of the program a condition of a federal grant or award.
The program curriculum must include comprehensive instruction on specified topics, including (1) identifying fraud and improper payment risks in federal programs; (2) using government-wide antifraud data sharing and other payee validation programs; and (3) reporting mechanisms for suspected fraud, waste, and abuse.
No later than two years after the date of the bill's enactment, Treasury and OMB must provide Congress with a report on program implementation.
Finally, Treasury may prescribe any regulations necessary to implement and administer the training program.

Common questions
Composed from the official recordWhere is it in the process, and what happens next?
4 steps remain before this bill could become law.
The record's latest action, on June 9, 2026: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
- Clearing the committees it was referred to, and being scheduled for a floor vote
- Passage by the House
- Passage by the Senate
- The President's signature. If the President vetoes it, two-thirds of both chambers must vote to override.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 118th Congress (2023-24), 274 of the 16,565 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 1.7 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one is not there yet: 4 steps are still outstanding, listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
Yes. 1 recorded roll-call vote cites this measure, listed further down this page with every member's position.
Who is behind it?
Glenn Grothman (R-WI) introduced it on April 22, 2026, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Democrat.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on April 22, 2026, 141 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 93 days ago, on June 9, 2026.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
