Joni Ernst, Roger Williams Propose Bill to Extend Pursuit of Coronavirus Aid Fraudsters

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) proposed legislation on Wednesday that would extend the statute of limitations to catch the potentially millions of individuals who took advantage of coronavirus pandemic-era aid.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) made shockwaves after it released a report that found the Biden-era Small Business Administration Inspector General (SBA IG) did not fully investigate roughly two to three million referrals because it did not have enough information or correct information in its referrals.
