Supported H.R. 1156 - the "Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act," which would extend the statute of limitations for combatting and prosecuting the theft of COVID-era unemployment benefits, giving more time for law enforcement to complete current cases, open new ones and recoup billions of taxpayer dollars.
