Occurrences

I introduced the Preventing the Repatriation of American Benefits Act. This bill is straightforward: if you are a non-citizen receiving federal benefits and you send more than $1,000 to a foreign country in a single year, you lose your welfare eligibility.

She commits to a bill tying federal benefit eligibility to limits on overseas money transfers by non-citizens.

Evidence

Fischbach’s office says she and Rep. Stauber introduced the Preventing the Repatriation of American Benefits Act. The release says the bill would revoke welfare eligibility for non-citizens who send more than $1,000 back to their country annually and links to the bill text.

Direct official evidence that Fischbach publicly supported and introduced the specific legislation in the same term.

In an official op-ed, Fischbach again says she introduced the Preventing the Repatriation of American Benefits Act and describes it as a bill that would end welfare eligibility for non-citizens who send more than $1,000 abroad in a year.

Later official statement in the lookback window confirming continued support for the same bill, but no official sign of enactment or advancement beyond introduction.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Fischbach promised to support legislation with a specific policy design, and the evidence shows she introduced the Preventing the Repatriation of American Benefits Act with Rep. Stauber in April 2026. The bill matches the promised substance: making non-citizens ineligible for welfare benefits if they send more than $1,000 overseas annually. Because the promise was framed as supporting legislation rather than securing enactment, introduction and continued public advocacy are enough to count as delivered in the same federal term, even though there is no evidence the bill became law.
