Now on America.gov: report fraud against government programs in just a few steps and, if eligible, receive a reward up to $30K
This administration is committed to rooting out fraud and making sure your tax dollars go to the programs they’re meant for, not fraudsters who abuse them.
Vice President JD Vance joined President Donald J. Trump and the team in the Oval Office yesterday to announce the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program.
Americans can now report cases of corruption in their communities through fraud.gov, and eligible tipsters will be given a commission if their information leads to a successful fraud conviction.
Vice President JD Vance retweeted
Fraudsters beware.
@VP Vance’s Fraud Task Force will protect hardworking Americans. 🇺🇸
The @WHFraudTF is committed to protecting taxpayer dollars and important benefits for the American people.
Vice President JD Vance retweeted
While radical Democrats refuse to stop the misuse of taxpayer dollars, the Trump Administration has uncovered more than $260 billion in fraud and is holding criminals accountable.
Join the fight. Report fraud today at Fraud.Gov.
Vice President JD Vance retweeted
.@AAGMcDonald: "These cases and allegations reveal the scope of deception, greed, and human exploitation permeating SNAP fraud schemes. These are not paperwork crimes. The tools of justice must be, and are, fully activated to protect the innocent, provide for our most vulnerable, punish the wrongdoer, and restore the public’s confidence that those who engage in fraud will indeed be brought to justice."
.@AAGMcDonald in Ohio with @VP on SNAP Fraud: "There is no more noble or compassionate taxpayer-funded program than those provided by @USDA: food for hungry children and relief for moms and dads struggling to put dinner on the table tonight. If ever a fraudster might say, 'Those dollars do too much good. They protect too many vulnerable kids and parents. These dollars are too noble for me to take,' it would be SNAP. But there is no program too noble for a fraudster. They will take whatever they can, no matter the financial cost or the human toll."
Vice President JD Vance retweeted
.@AGToddBlanche in Ohio with @VP on SNAP Fraud: "We have uncovered $42 MILLION dollars in fraud associated with the SNAP program. This fraud comes in all different ways. It comes from these criminals actually stealing the money off the cards that are used to purchase food by our most needed in the country. It comes from just outright theft and taking money from the people that are supposed to be receiving these efforts."
Vice President JD Vance:
“I think it’s driven home how much the war against fraud is not just about protecting taxpayer dollars, as much as that is very important to every person on this stage. It’s also about protecting important benefits… You know, nobody loves paying their taxes, but they accept it because they know it’s going for a good and a useful purpose. That’s not going to happen unless we take fraud more seriously and it’s why the President’s effort to do just that is so important."
Vice President JD Vance:
“I also had a lot of members of my family benefit from these food benefit programs provided by federal tax dollars… to present that card, to expect to be able to take that food home to your family, to be able to cook it and provide a meal for your kids, and to be told because of the work of a fraudster, because the theft of a fraudster, that you are being rejected. And there are thousands and hundreds of thousands of families all across our country, all across the state of Ohio, who have had that experience because their benefits went to go and pay for private jets for people like Shawty Dred. It is despicable and I’m proud of this team for making it stop.”
Vice President JD Vance:
“When we catch a fraudster, they are very often by the judicial system, given a slap on the wrist and let out back into our country. That has got to stop. So John Husted and a number of other congressional Republicans, have worked with us to try to increase the mandatory minimums when we catch fraudsters. If you commit fraud against SNAP you should go to jail, and you should go to jail for a very long time.”
Vice President JD Vance on alleged fraudster Shawty Dred:
“This is a man that we have connected to $4.4 million in fraud against the SNAP program. A guy who is quite literally taking food from the mouths of children so that he can enrich himself… We have prosecuted this guy and prosecuted so many other fraudsters, and we’re going to keep on doing it. Because one of the most important lessons we can send is that you shouldn’t be able to, and you can’t get rich off of fraud. SNAP exists to help hungry children eat. It does not exist to provide private jets to a guy like Shawty Dred.”
Vice President JD Vance:
“We have way too much fraud in the SNAP program… we find that there are people out there who decide to commit fraud against these programs. Who quite literally in this case, will steal from the mouths of hungry children in order to enrich themselves. And that cannot go on and thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are fighting and winning the war against fraud in the SNAP program.”
"Vice President JD Vance will announce today that the federal anti-fraud task force he leads has identified $40 million in welfare fraud and more than 40 suspects behind the alleged schemes."
