Summary

The bill sets up a National Recovery Coordinator and a multi‑agency task force to locate and retrieve pandemic‑era unemployment benefits that were never claimed or were obtained fraudulently and are now sitting in banks or state unclaimed‑property accounts. It also extends the statute of limitations for fraud actions related to those payments to ten years and reimburses states for the administrative costs of the recovery effort.
