SA 517. Ms. LUMMIS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
RECOVERING PAYMENTS RESULTING FROM FRAUD IN
MANDATORY SPENDING PROGRAMS.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
recovering payments resulting from fraud in mandatory
spending programs, which may include requiring full or
partial repayment from State governments when a Federal
agency Inspector General or the Government Accountability
Office determines that a State was reckless or lacked
sufficient appropriate controls relating to Medicaid, the
supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP), the
temporary assistance for needy families program (TANF), or
unemployment insurance benefits, and which resulted in
fraudulent payments, by the amounts provided in such
legislation for those purposes, provided that such
legislation would not increase the deficit over either the
period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2025 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2030.
