| Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-01) released the below statement calling for further investigation into stolen COVID-19 funds. According to a report issued by the U.S. Department of Labor last week, a "significant portion" of improper pandemic-related unemployment payments were attributable to fraud. While the exact amount of stolen funds is unknown, there have been multiple reports that hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars were lost.

| “I am incredibly concerned by the rampant fraud and abuse that plagued pandemic-related relief programs, with potentially hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars stolen. There must be a full investigation into the theft of COVID-19 funds to ensure every taxpayer dollar is accounted for and that Americans' personal information is secured. I will continue pushing for accountability and working to ensure the perpetrators are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." – Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
