The House DOGE committee's first hearing will be on 'improper payments and fraud'

The House's newly formed "DOGE Committee," officially known as the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, is set to hold its first hearing focused on "Improper Payments and Fraud in Federal Programs." This hearing aims to address the significant issue of fraud within federal spending, particularly highlighted by the distribution of funds during the COVID-19 crisis. The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, plans to scrutinize the oversight mechanisms of federal agencies, with a particular emphasis on the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, which have been criticized for their vulnerability to fraud. The hearing will explore how these programs were exploited, the extent of the fraud, and potential legislative solutions to prevent future occurrences. This initiative underscores the committee's commitment to enhancing government accountability and efficiency.
