白宫已正式向国会提交拟议立法，该法案将对被判犯有联邦福利计划欺诈罪的人员强制规定最低刑期，据《Semafor》看到的文件副本显示。
The White House has formally sent Congress proposed legislation that would impose mandatory minimum sentences on those convicted of fraud involving federal benefit programs, according to a copy of it seen by Semafor.
该提案于周日晚间呈送众参两院领导层，此前特朗普总统在周末呼吁立法者严厉打击“医疗保险、医疗补助和社会保障计划中的欺诈行为”。根据文件，政府的立法文本将根据欺诈案件涉及的损失金额，设定一系列强制最低刑期。该提案还将禁止法院对依据该条款判刑的人员实施缓刑或暂缓执行刑罚。
The proposal, sent to House and Senate leadership on Sunday night, follows President Donald Trump’s call over the weekend for lawmakers to crack down on “fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security programs.”The administration’s language would establish a range of mandatory minimum sentences based on the amount of loss involved in fraud schemes, according to the document. The proposal would also bar courts from placing those sentenced under the provision on probation or suspending their sentences.
被认定造成不足4万美元损失的人员将面临至少一年监禁；造成4万至25万美元损失的人员将面临至少两年监禁；涉及1亿美元或以上损失的违规行为将导致至少20年监禁。所有违规行为的最高刑期均为终身监禁。
People found responsible for less than $40,000 in losses would face at least one year in prison; those responsible for between $40,000 and $250,000 in losses would face at least two years in prison; and violations involving $100 million in losses or more would result in at least 20 years in prison. All violations would carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
在中期选举后的会期内，国会不太可能审议并通过该立法。随着民主党有望在下月夺得众议院多数席位，参议院控制权也悬而未决，该提案在2027年也面临艰难的推进前景。
It’s unlikely that Congress would be able to take up and pass the legislation during its post-election session after the midterms. With Democrats poised to take the House majority next month and the Senate also in play, the proposal also faces a steep climb in 2027.
政府的立法提案还包含条款，规定“任何州政府官员或雇员”若知悉涉嫌欺诈却“故意、蓄意或鲁莽”视而不见，将承担个人责任。此类官员还可能承担高达“因欺诈造成的所有损失金额”的经济赔偿责任，若损失超过100万美元，则最高赔偿损失金额的三倍。
Also included in the administration’s legislative proposal is language that would hold “any officer or employee of the state” personally liable if they knew about alleged fraud and “willfully, intentionally, or recklessly” ignored it. Such officials could also be financially liable for damages up to the “amount of all loss resulting” from the fraud, or if that loss exceeds $1 million, up to three times the amount.
近几个月来，特朗普授权副总统万斯（JD Vance）在全美范围内追查欺诈行为，他和其他共和党人试图以打击浪费、欺诈和滥用这一熟悉的信息进行竞选宣传。
Trump in recent months has empowered Vice President JD Vance to pursue fraud across the US, as he and other Republicans have sought to campaign on a familiar message of stopping waste, fraud, and abuse.
该政府追查了一系列备受瞩目的欺诈指控，最引人注目的是明尼苏达州和加利福尼亚州等民主党领导的州。
The administration has pursued a number of high-profile fraud claims, most notably in Democratic-led states such as Minnesota and California.
这是特朗普最新的与犯罪相关的推动，他赢得总统选举的部分原因是法律与秩序的信息。该提案现已提交国会，立法者必须决定是否接受该提案。
This is the latest crime-related push from Trump, who won his presidential election in part on a law-and-order message. The proposal now sits with Congress, where lawmakers will have to decide whether to take it up.
