CAL Repayment Act Creating Accountability in Loan Repayment Act
To amend title XII of the Social Security Act to require States to first use certain funds to pay outstanding balances on advances made under such title prior to using such funds for any other purpose.
HB8892, also known as the CAL Repayment Act, aims to change how states manage certain funds related to Social Security. The bill proposes that states must use specific funds to pay off any outstanding balances from past loans before they can use those funds for other things. This change is intended to ensure better accountability in how these funds are used.
This bill would affect states that receive these funds. By requiring them to prioritize paying off past loan balances, the bill aims to ensure that the money is used responsibly and that debts are settled in a timely manner. This could have implications for state budgets and how they allocate resources.
As of May 19, 2026, HB8892 was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, and the committee will review it before any further actions are taken.
