What happened

Periodic transaction reports on the House Clerk's website show Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) filed reports on trades in his family's accounts long after the STOCK Act deadline (30 days after notification, and no later than 45 days after the trade). First, filing 20019267, digitally signed Aug. 11, 2021, lists 36 stock trades dated March 26 to April 2, 2020 (32 in accounts owned by a dependent child and four in his spouse's), 496 to 503 days earlier, including purchases and sales of Alphabet Class A and Microsoft. The Times Leader reported on Aug. 18, 2021, citing a LegiStorm report, that the disclosure came more than a year after the law requires and that his wife and children had bought up to $600,000 of stock in March 2020 (the reported figure is the sum of the top of the disclosed value ranges). Meuser said "my broker failed to report this reallocation in a timely manner. This was simply human error," said the trades occurred without his knowledge and at the broker's discretion, said he had received no word from the House Ethics Committee that a rule was broken besides late reporting, and said his office was told a $200 late-filing fee applied. Second, filing 20030884, signed Aug. 13, 2025, lists two partial sales of NVIDIA stock in his spouse's Schwab brokerage account, dated Aug. 7, 2024 ($250,001-$500,000) and Oct. 1, 2024 ($500,001-$1,000,000), reported 371 and 316 days later; filing 20030922, signed Aug. 20, 2025, lists nine sales in the same account dated Feb. 11, 2025, reported 190 days later. NOTUS reported on Aug. 19, 2025 that he was almost a year late reporting the NVIDIA sales. Meuser told NOTUS "The mistake was made solely by my brokerage and benefited me in no way," that he promptly notified the Ethics Committee, and that he would make clear to his brokerage that such errors are unacceptable. The sources reviewed show no Ethics Committee finding on either matter, and no fee was reported for the 2025 filings; House Ethics guidance says fee payments and waiver decisions are not made public.
