Summary
$25 million will fund a new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, with rewards of up to $30,000 for tips that lead to fraud convictions or major federal enforcement actions.
The Justice Department will run the program through fraud.gov, and allegations alone will not qualify; tipsters must provide information that produces a successful case or significant enforcement result.
Trump is also set to give journalist Nick Shirley $10,000 after the White House credited his Minnesota reporting with helping trigger FBI and DHS investigations, arrests and new charges.
The rollout expands the administration's anti-fraud push launched in March through the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, which the White House says has already helped recover more than $1 billion from trade fraud and exposed millions in Medicaid abuse.
