'&) David Medeiros € @DavidMedeiros - Nov 7, 2025 A Replying to @DavidMedeiros What Does the Oversight Committee Do? (Easy Guide) This Committee acts like the government's reviewer made up of 45 House members (from both parties) who examine federal agencies (FBI, HHS, DOJ, etc.) for better efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability. Key activities: Hold Hearings: Public sessions where experts and those with insights share information (e.g., the 2025 UAP hearing on accountability began from submitted details). Whistleblower Portal: Open to anyone submitting concerns about federal waste or abuse (that's where I've shared CT's Medicaid details for years). The team reviews and may share with agencies or schedule deeper looks. Legislation: Support bills like S.2527 (2025 Whistleblower Enhancement, with Sen. Grassley) to strengthen protections and recover funds ($2.9B in FCA settlements for FY2024). GAO Ties: Collaborate with the Government Accountability Office for audits on priority areas like Medicaid ($16.6B gaps noted in Feb 2025). Overall: It's a tool for the public to help improve how government works, though with many submissions each year, not every detail leads to immediate action especially for state-related program issues like CT's. #GovernmentTransparency
