福克斯新闻独家报道: 福克斯数字新闻获悉,佛罗里达州共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪提出两项法案,将延续特朗普政府打击欺诈、浪费和滥用行为的举措,以保护美国最年幼和最年长的群体。
“我从担任司法部长时期起就一直在打击欺诈,成为参议员后也从未停止过这一斗争。担任司法部长的经历让我意识到各类诈骗手段的猖獗程度,也坚定了我将诈骗者绳之以法的决心,”穆迪参议员对福克斯数字新闻表示。“这也让我看清了州和联邦执法部门之间存在的漏洞。我正在填补这一鸿沟,推出针对性立法,弥补现行法律的缺陷,这些缺陷让不法分子更容易利用弱势群体和相关项目牟利。”
这些提案出台之际,华盛顿方面日益重视打击欺诈行为,特朗普政府也在加强对联邦开支和公共援助项目的监管。穆迪的两项法案将加强对儿童保育项目的反欺诈保护,并协助执法部门打击针对老年人的诈骗者。

《打击儿童诈骗法案》旨在加强对联邦儿童保育项目的监管,要求各州完善项目诚信措施,在支付错误率超过5%时提交整改行动计划,并加强联邦对高风险州的监控。
该法案要求各州详细说明内部控制机制、欺诈调查和追讨流程、对欺诈客户或服务提供者的处罚措施,以及核实资格的程序。

该法案还将永久禁止犯有儿童保育欺诈罪的个人参与特定联邦儿童保育项目。
此次行动正值大规模欺诈案件受到高度关注之际,其中包括明尼苏达州价值2.5亿美元的“喂养我们的未来”计划诈骗案。该案2022年曝光后成为全国热议的焦点,近年来已促成多起定罪。
上个月,联邦特工在明尼苏达州多家日托中心和自闭症康复中心执行搜查令,调查涉嫌骗取联邦资金的“虚假”机构。
穆迪还提出了第二项反欺诈法案《打击针对老年人诈骗法案》,该法案将帮助各州设立老年人司法专项工作组,协调针对60岁及以上美国民众的金融剥削、诈骗和欺诈行为的调查工作。
该法案将通过联邦拨款激励各州打击诈骗者,以设立专项工作组。
专项工作组将与州和地方警察局、联邦调查局、司法部及其他联邦执法机构密切协作。

该项目还要求报告以下数据:已立案和结案的案件数量、协助的受害者人数、已识别的诈骗类型、用于联系受害者的手段,以及任何有组织或跨国犯罪参与的迹象。

Fraudsters accused of ripping off America’s grandparents face new crackdown under GOP bill
June 18, 2026 11:15am EDT / Fox News
The proposals require states to submit corrective action plans if payment error rates exceed 5 percent

FIRST ON FOX:Florida Republican Sen. Ashley Moody introduced two bills that would follow the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud, waste, and abuse to protect America’s youngest and oldest, Fox News Digital has learned.
“I’ve fought fraud since my days as Attorney General, and I’ve continued that fight as a Senator. Serving as an attorney general gave me an awareness of the pervasiveness of schemes and emboldened my determination to hold scammers accountable,” Sen. Moody told Fox News Digital. “It also opened my eyes to where gaps exist between state and federal law enforcement. I’m closing that divide, and introducing targeted legislation to address holes within current law that make it easier for bad actors to exploit vulnerable citizens and programs.”
The proposals follow a growing focus in Washington on combating fraud as the Trump administration moves to strengthen oversight of federal spending and public assistance programs. Moody’s two bills would strengthen safeguards against fraud in childcare programs and help law enforcement authorities go after scammers who prey on seniors.

The Stop Child Scams Act aims to strengthen oversight of federal childcare programs by requiring states to improve program integrity measures, submit corrective action plans if payment error rates exceed 5%, and increase federal monitoring of high-risk states.
The bill would require states to detail internal controls, fraud-investigation and recovery processes, sanctions for fraudulent clients or providers, and procedures to verify eligibility.

It also permanently bars individuals convicted of childcare fraud from participating in certain federal childcare programs.
The push comes amid heightened focus on large-scale fraud cases, including Minnesota’s $250 million “Feeding Our Future” scheme, which became a national flashpoint after surfacing in 2022 and has led to a wave of convictions in recent years.
Federal agents issued search warrants at various day care and autism centers in Minnesota last month to investigate “fake” facilities allegedly taking federal money.
Moody also introduced a second fraud bill, STOP Scams Against Seniors Act, which would help states create elder justice task forces to coordinate investigations into financial exploitation, scams and fraud targeting Americans age 60 and older.
The bill incentivizes states to go after fraudsters through federal grant money to establish task forces.
The task forces would coordinate closely with state and local police departments, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and other federal law enforcement agencies.

The program also requires reporting on the number of cases opened and completed, the number of victims assisted, the types of scams identified, the methods used to contact victims, and any indicators of organized or transnational criminal involvement.
