Summary

  • The White House on Thursday unveiled “The Fraud Ledger,” a public dashboard and map showing roughly $230 billion in suspected federal fraud identified since January 2025.
  • SBA accounts for $122.9 billion of the total and HHS $96.2 billion, while the administration says the task force has halted $56 billion in fraudulent payments and carried out more than $55 billion in enforcement actions.
  • The site, built from public records and agency submissions, lists ongoing investigations, criminal charges, recoveries and the 10 highest-impact cases, including suspended payments to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
  • A June Justice Department sweep charged more than 450 people in schemes totaling over $6.5 billion, and HHS officials say AI is now helping detect fraud patterns that older auditing systems missed.
