Our message is clear: If you commit disaster fraud, you will face consequences!

We’re testing new technologies and expanding our use of advanced tools, like the Department of the Treasury’s Do Not Pay portal and digital identity risk assessments, to catch fraud earlier and stay ahead of evolving fraud tactics.

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.
