Rewards for Reporting Fraud

As explained in this website addressing reporting fraud against the government, you may be eligible for a reward for reporting Social Security fraud—but only if you follow specific procedures. Often, the amount of social security fraud is too small to warrant a formal application and citizens prefer to report it directly to the Social Security Administration and forgo any rewards. If you do not want a reward but still want to report Social Security fraud, below is how. Be mindful, that if you report fraud directly to the government in this manner, you may lose your eligibility to later apply for a reward. If you think you might want a reward, read the portion of this website addressing rewards. You can have your potential case evaluated in confidence by an attorney before making a decision.
