We could fix this problem and save time and money so that IRS agents
are helping people, instead of trying to recover improper payments by
verifying legal status first. My bill simply requires the IRS to work with the relevant Federal
agencies to verify that an individual is a
citizen, national, or lawfully present in the United States before tax
credits go out the door. This can be done by verifying an applicant's
Social Security number or other immigration documents. Again, the
American people expect that we are already doing this. Under my bill, everyone who applies for the advance premium tax
credit will be verified for legal status.
