Representative Michelle Fischbach
Washington, D.C. – Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach and Congressman Pete Stauber have introduced new legislation aimed at keeping federal benefit dollars in the United States.
The Preventing the Repatriation of American Benefits Act would revoke welfare eligibility for noncitizens who send more than $1,000 a year overseas.
The bill follows investigations into fraud across Minnesota social service programs, where at least nine billion taxpayer dollars were allegedly stolen, with some funds traced overseas, including to Al-Shabaab.
The Republican lawmakers say the measure closes loopholes and protects benefits for Americans.
