U.S. Treasury Launches Whistleblower Portal Offering 10% to 30% Rewards for Fraud Tips

Summary
Treasury unveiled a single online whistleblower portal that lets Americans report fraud, money laundering and sanctions or tax violations directly to the department.
Awards could range from 10% to 30% of penalties recovered in successful Treasury and Justice enforcement actions, though Treasury has not yet detailed payment formulas or case eligibility.
The site routes tips to bureaus including FinCEN, the IRS and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, while also consolidating Treasury's existing whistleblower programs in one place.
The rollout extends the Trump administration's anti-fraud push after officials said billions in taxpayer dollars were lost, working alongside Vice President JD Vance's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
Treasury tied the effort to lessons from Minnesota's Feeding Our Futures scandal, framing whistleblowers as a tool to disrupt criminal networks and protect federal funds.
