BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I rise today in support of H.R. 428, as well, the Bonuses for Cost- Cutters and Fraud Preventers Act 2026. This bipartisan bill would increase the maximum cash bonus awarded to Federal employees who report waste, fraud, and abuse, from $10,000 to $20,000. Increasing this award will encourage more Federal workers to come forward and report on waste and improper spending. It will reward employees for acting in the best interest of American taxpayers.

The bill also requires agencies to report on the wasteful and improper spending reported by employees, promoting transparency.

I thank my colleagues for their work on this bill.

Increasing the bonus for identifying waste, fraud, and abuse will save taxpayer dollars, make government more efficient, reward honest workers, and increase accountability.

I thank my colleagues again for this bill, and I urge my colleagues to support it.
