Report would track deaths after U.S. aid services ended, including specific individuals.

This bill would require the government's chief auditor, the Comptroller General, to investigate and report on deaths that happened after the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) stopped its services. The report would estimate past and future deaths and specifically look into the deaths of ten named individuals. This information would be shared with Congress and made public.

What Would Change

Today, there is no official requirement for the government to report on deaths caused by USAID services stopping. If this bill passes, the Comptroller General would be required to create a public report. This report would estimate deaths in 2025 and over the next five years, and specifically investigate ten named individuals' deaths.

Key Provisions

Requires the Comptroller General to submit a final report to Congress and the public on the effects of USAID services ending.
Requires the report to estimate the number of deaths in 2025 due to USAID services stopping.
Requires the report to estimate the number of anticipated future deaths over five years due to the lack of USAID services.
Requires the report to investigate if specific named individuals, like Evan Anzoo, died because they lost access to USAID services.
Requires the Comptroller General to provide an interim update to Congress within 180 days on the report's findings.
