Fraud, Waste and Abuse
In This Section
As money begins to flow to grant and contract recipients, the public may become aware of potential fraud that should be investigated to ensure the Recovery Act funds are spent properly. Recovery.gov is currently working to provide an on-line complaint and hotline service to log suspected fraudulent use of the recovery money. In the meantime, there are ways for you to get your message to the right agency fast. If you see fraud, waste, or mismanagement of Recovery Act funds, refer the matter immediately to the respective agency. If you meet the criteria as a whistleblower, there are certain protections afforded under the Recovery Act, outlined here.
