BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I also rise in support of H.R. 8463, the Pre-Payment Fraud Prevention and Treasury Data Access Act.

This bill will help prevent improper payments by requiring that agencies verify with the U.S. Treasury that payments are going to the right place before they are made. Agencies would be required to use the Treasury's Do Not Pay system to confirm that recipients, one, have a valid Social Security number; two, are not deceased; and, three, have a valid bank account.

The bill would also impose heavy fines for any misuse of the Do Not Pay system.

This is a commonsense change, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this bill.

Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, as well.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, H.R. 8463. I congratulate the chair and ranking member on their bipartisan work, and I yield back the balance of my time.
