The Trump Administration is expanding its efforts to target and eliminate fraud on a national scale. On March 16, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a task force to combat fraud in federal programs.
Chaired by Vice President Vance, the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud will coordinate a comprehensive national strategy to stop fraud, waste and abuse across housing, food, medical care and cash assistance-related programs. Additional functions of the task force include:
- Promoting the facilitation of information and data sharing and coordination between state, local, tribal and territorial governments and the federal government, as well as benefit and law enforcement agencies.
