HR 5683 United States House · 119th Congress

Military Consumer Protection Task Force Act of 2025

This bill establishes an Interagency Task Force to coordinate federal efforts against financial fraud targeting military members, veterans, and military families. The Task Force, created within 90 days of enactment, includes representatives from the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Justice, FTC, CFPB, and other agencies, plus three veteran service organization experts. Its key duties include collecting fraud data, identifying specific scam types (like pension poaching or fake charity schemes), evaluating existing protections, and issuing annual reports to Congress with recommendations. The bill directly affects military consumers by mandating a coordinated federal response to rising fraud losses, which totaled $584 million in 2024.
