White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud
@WHFraudTF
Ending fraud against the American taxpayer.

CMS launched the Medicaid Fraud War Room in partnership with @OIGatHHS as an all-of-government approach to use advanced data analytics to identify fraud faster, stop bad actors, and protect Medicaid for those who depend on it. cms.gov/files/document…

We are making it harder for fraudsters to exploit disaster assistance. Under the leadership of @POTUS and @VP, FEMA now uses stronger automated checks to spot fake information and potential fraud in disaster assistance applications.


Illinois Store Owner Sentenced to 46-month Imprisonment and Ordered to Pay Over $560,000 in Restitution for Fraudulent SNAP Benefits Scheme: justice.gov/usao-sdil/pr/c… “Illinois SNAP recipients were for years ripped off by this criminal who used his store, Egyptian Corner, to steal from them,” said USDA Inspector General John Walk. “Instead of using his Food and Nutrition Administration SNAP retailer authorization to provide eligible food to needy Illinois residents, the convict took federal reimbursement for selling unlawful items and laundered SNAP benefits through other retail locations to enrich himself. USDA OIG special agents went to work with federal partners and now he’ll do the time – 46 months in federal prison, 3 years of supervised release, $564,936.19 in restitution, and $489,936.18 forfeited. Working with VP Vance and WH Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, USDA OIG will do the work to send fraudsters in Illinois or anywhere else to prison.”

14 indictments. 14 convictions. Way to go, @kyoag. This is the kind of bold action American taxpayers deserve. @VP’s @WHFraudTF had made clear that states need to prosecute fraud and protect patients.

Thanks to @WHAS11 for highlighting our strong focus on investigating & prosecuting Medicaid & benefits fraud. We’re grateful for @VP Vance’s leadership & working with @WHFraudTF to ensure these dollars go to the people they’re designed to help. whas11.com/article/news/l…
