Summary
The Stop Fraud in Federal Programs Act of 2026 would double the maximum prison term for theft or bribery involving federal money from ten to twenty years and set a minimum fine of $250,000 or twice the value of the stolen property, whichever is higher. It also mandates that any organization running a summer food service program must have its accounts audited each year by an independent third‑party auditor, with the audit results sent directly to the Secretary. The changes are intended to deter fraud and improve oversight of school nutrition programs.
