Stopping Fraudulent Payments Act

This bill sets up rules to help stop the federal government from making payments that are fraudulent or incorrect. It requires government agencies to pause or review payments if there are clear signs that the payments might be fraudulent or wrong, but these reviews must be based on documented evidence, apply only to the specific payments that seem risky, and last only as long as needed to check things out. The Department of the Treasury must send payment requests back to agencies for review if its fraud-detection system flags them as high risk. The bill also says that government workers cannot be held personally responsible for actions they take in good faith while following these rules.
