独家消息：在2026财年，美国财政部成功拦截了1.75亿美元的联邦拨款，这些款项本应发放给已去世的受益人。这一数额较数月前查出的9900万美元有了显著增长。特朗普政府正在全政府范围内加强审核，以杜绝不当支付现象。
FIRST ON FOX: The Treasury Department blocked $175 million in federal payments tied to deceased recipients in fiscal year 2026, up sharply from the $99 million identified just months earlier as the Trump administration expanded government-wide screening for improper payments.
“我赞赏财政部长斯科特·贝森特及时制止这些欺诈分子的行为，防止他们侵吞纳税人的钱财，”路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。
"I applaud Secretary [Scott] Bessent for slamming the door on these fraudsters before they can pick taxpayers’ pockets," Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy told Fox News Digital.
“除非你在上经济学入门课时一直在操场上玩飞盘，否则都应该明白联邦政府绝不该把纳税人的钱发给已故人士，”肯尼迪继续说道。“多年来我一直努力推动相关法案的通过，以阻止欺诈分子钻制度的空子；如今该法案终于成为法律。”多年来，肯尼迪一直致力于推动财政部获取更多社会保障系统的死亡人员记录。在他的推动下，2020年通过的一项法律临时授权社会保障局向财政部提供完整的“死亡人员名录”数据。
"Unless you were playing Frisbee in the quad during Econ 101, you know the federal government shouldn’t be sending taxpayer money to dead people," Kennedy went on. "I fought for years to pass my common-sense bill to stop fraudsters from gaming the system, and now it’s the law." Kennedy has for years pushed to give Treasury greater access to Social Security death records, helping pass a 2020 law that temporarily authorized the Social Security Administration to share its full Death Master File with the department.
这项为期三年的数据共享计划于2023年12月正式实施。2026年2月，特朗普签署了由肯尼迪提出的《杜绝向已故人士发放不当款项法案》，使财政部能够永久获取这些数据。
That three-year data-sharing program began in December 2023. Trump then signed Kennedy’s Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act into law in February 2026, making access permanent.
特朗普打击欺诈行动持续升级：财政部推出新网站并设立举报奖励机制。特朗普已指示其政府全力根除联邦政府内部的欺诈、浪费与滥用现象，并强化对纳税人资金的保护措施。此次阻止向已故人士发放联邦福利金的举措，正是这一整体战略的重要组成部分。
TRUMP'S WAR ON FRAUD EXPANDS AS TREASURY LAUNCHES NEW SITE WITH WHISTLEBLOWER INCENTIVES Trump has tasked his administration with rooting out fraud, waste and abuse across the federal government and tightening safeguards around taxpayer dollars — the latest effort to stop federal benefit payments to dead people is just another initiative within that broader effort. "President Trump continues to deliver for Americans where previous administrations have fallen short.
“特朗普总统正在兑现承诺，弥补历任政府未能做到的不足。本届政府正以创纪录的速度制定新标准，防止纳税人的血汗钱被不当挪用。在特朗普总统的领导下，浪费、欺诈与滥用行为绝无容身之地，”白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。
This Administration is setting new standards in record time to prevent fraud and improper payments before hard-earned taxpayer dollars leave the Treasury. Under President Trump’s leadership, there is no tolerance for waste, fraud, and abuse," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital.
在2026财年，美国财政部对超过11亿笔、总额约3.7万亿美元的联邦拨款进行了审核，成功识别出约13,500笔本应发放给已不符合领取资格人员（因已去世）的款项，涉及金额达1.75亿美元，这些款项随后被追回。
Treasury screened more than 1.1 billion federal payments totaling roughly $3.7 trillion in FY2026, identifying and returning about 13,500 payments worth $175 million that otherwise would have been distributed to individuals no longer eligible for payments due to death.
“财政部正借助更完善的数据、更严格的管控措施以及先进的技术手段，持续革新联邦政府保护纳税人资金的方式，力求在资金流出前就杜绝欺诈与不当拨款现象，”财政部长斯科特·贝森特在提供给福克斯新闻的数字版新闻稿中说道。
"Treasury continues to transform how the federal government protects taxpayer dollars by using better data, stronger controls, and advanced technology to stop fraud and improper payments before money goes out the door," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a press release shared with Fox News Digital.
“仅在过去一年里，财政部便开发并实施了多项新 safeguards，对总额超过3.7万亿美元的联邦拨款进行了核验；同时，‘禁止支付’系统的覆盖范围也从2025财年末的4%提升至99%，确保各政府机构都能获取所需数据，”贝森特补充道。“我们正在逐步摒弃‘先付款后追查’的传统模式，将预防工作作为联邦政府的首要防线。”
"In the past year alone, Treasury built and deployed new safeguards that verified more than $3.7 trillion in federal payments and increased Do Not Pay access from 4 percent of programs to 99 percent, ensuring agencies have access to the data they need," Bessent added. "We are moving beyond ‘pay and chase’ and making prevention the federal government’s first line of defense."
如今，超过99%的联邦项目均可使用“禁止支付”工具，这一比例较2025财年末的约4%有了显著提升。该举措正是落实特朗普总统于2025年3月发布的行政命令的关键内容——该命令要求政府各部门强化对联邦拨款环节中欺诈、浪费及滥用行为的防范力度。
WHITE HOUSE PUSHES 'WATERSHED' FRAUD-FIGHTING REFORM IN CONGRESS AS VANCE CONVENES TASK FORCE More than 99% of federal programs now have access to the "Do Not Pay" tool, up from roughly 4% at the end of FY2025. The expansion fulfills key requirements of a March 2025 executive order from Trump directing his administration to strengthen safeguards against fraud, waste and abuse involving federal payments.
2026财年，财政部还依据“禁止支付”系统的数据源对超过23亿条记录进行了核验，这一数量几乎是上一财年6.41亿条核验记录的四倍。随着该系统在整个联邦政府范围内的推广，以及新的拨款核验机制与各州层面的额外筛查工作的开展，这一数据增长态势仍在持续。
Treasury also screened more than 2.3 billion records against Do Not Pay data sources in FY2026, nearly four times the 641 million records screened the previous fiscal year. The jump comes as the program has expanded across the federal government, alongside new payment verification efforts and additional screenings for states.
此外，财政部还测试了多项新 safeguards，旨在核实银行账户是否确属指定收款人所有，并核对与联邦拨款相关的纳税人识别号信息。
VANCE TO HOST CONGRESS AT WHITE HOUSE TO DISCUSS LEGISLATIVE ACTION ON FRAUD Treasury also tested new safeguards aimed at verifying that bank accounts belong to the intended recipients and checking Taxpayer Identification Numbers tied to federal payments.
这项检查于9月30日正式启动，可在款项发送之前，让财务部对未通过验证的付款进行标记和退回。
The checks became fully operational Sept. 30 and allow Treasury to flag and return payments that fail verification before the money is sent.
最新数据建立在财务部7月份的声明基础上，该声明表示，它已审核了价值约2.77万亿美元的超过88500万笔付款，并标记了价值约9900万美元的4900多笔与已故收款人相关的付款。
The latest figures build on Treasury’s July announcement that it had screened more than 885 million payments worth roughly $2.77 trillion and flagged more than 4,900 payments worth about $99 million tied to deceased recipients.
