Fraud Reporting


The Fraud Reporting Form for Programmatic Fraud is available so that you may report the fraud, waste, or abuse of SSA Programs such as Retirement, Survivors, Disability and Supplemental Security Income via the Internet. Before you complete the Fraud Reporting Form, please review our Guidelines for Reporting Fraud. You may also want to review our Frequently Asked Questions before completing the on-line form. If you are interested in reporting Representative Payee fraud or abuse, please review our Representative Payee Misuse Page. Once you begin to enter your complaint on the Fraud Reporting Form, you will be timed-out in 60 minutes. If this occurs, the data you have entered will be lost and you will be redirected to the Fraud Reporting Home Page.

A number of instances have been reported to us recently where someone is impersonating an SSA employee trying to obtain personal information from you. If you have encountered this situation, please click on the link to our page Scams Involving Impersonating an SSA Employee.

SSA also has an Online Privacy Policy which should be reviewed before entering any information on this website.

Please select the appropriate choice from the list below for the fraud you wish to repot. Depending on the type of fraud you wish to report, you will be directed either to the Fraud Reporting Form, or to SSA's website for further explanation of where you should direct your inquiry.
