Filing paperwork with the Federal Election Commission does not necessarily mean a person is running, but it does allow Santos to raise money.
The committee will determine in part whether Santos engaged in unlawful activity during his 2022 congressional campaign.
The future congressman was questioned after his address was found in a car tied to the suspect in an ATM skimming case.
Santos can be heard lying about his employment in audio from a 2017 court appearance at a bail hearing for a "family friend."
The investigation began when another man was caught removing a skimming device from a Seattle ATM.
"We gave him plenty of time to resign, and he has chosen not to do so," Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California said.
Romney said he told Santos that he didn't belong in Congress.
The Republican is facing growing calls to resign as stories about his past continue to surface.
"I never claimed to be Jewish," Santos told the New York Post. "I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was 'Jew-ish.'"
