Congress would get a new fraud report every three months on some COVID-19 small business loans. The SBA watchdog would have to track loan totals, fraud cases, and fraud types for two years, using existing funds.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 826: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the SBA Inspector General, who would have to prepare the reports, and Congress, which would receive them. It could also matter to small businesses and taxpayers who want clearer information about how COVID-19 relief loans were monitored. The bill does not directly change what borrowers owe, how loans work, or what penalties apply for fraud.
Why this matters: This bill matters because Congress would get regular updates on fraud in some major COVID-19 small business loan programs. Those updates could help lawmakers see what went wrong, how often fraud cases opened or closed, and what kinds of fraud showed up. The information could shape future relief programs, but the bill itself does not recover money, punish fraud, or rewrite loan rules. Its impact would also be limited because the reports stop after two years unless Congress extends the requirement.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
