Virginia proposes ban on nonprofits verifying federal benefit eligibility, sparking debate over fraud risk and access.
Virginia state Representative Jessica Anderson has introduced HB1369, a bill that would ban state agencies from requiring nonprofits to verify eligibility for federal benefits, citing reduced bureaucracy.
The move comes amid heightened scrutiny over federal spending, including a major fraud scandal in Minnesota involving falsified claims by a Somali-linked nonprofit.
Critics warn the bill could enable fraud and waste taxpayer money by removing key safeguards, while supporters argue it expands access to aid.
The legislation is part of a broader progressive agenda under newly elected Governor Abigail Spanberger, but its long-term impact and intent remain under debate.
