Stop Somali CASH Fraud Act

This bill changes federal currency reporting rules for people carrying cash or monetary instruments out of the United States. If the person carrying the money is a non-citizen who is a national of certain countries, the required report would have to be filed at least 72 hours before the money leaves the country. The covered countries include those designated by the Secretary of State under several terrorism-related laws and those listed as high-risk in a January 14, 2026, State Department press release on public benefits reliance. The report would also need to list the carrier's travel documents, taxpayer ID numbers, and alien registration numbers from the past 5 years, and personal details about the person receiving the money. It would also need to say whether the money came from a government contract or benefit program.
