Treasury blocks $175M for deceased recipients
投稿者: Flint: Donald Trump
The Treasury Department just blocked $175 million in payments meant for dead people during fiscal year 2026, a sharp jump from the $99 million caught months earlier. That comes after screening over 1.1 billion federal transactions totaling roughly $3.7 trillion across the just-ended fiscal year. About 13,500 checks were returned because the recipients were no longer eligible due to death. The fraud tied to the Biden years was described as extensive and off the charts. Trump and Sec. Scott Bessent stopped these fraudulent payments cold. When Trump said he was going to destroy fraud, he meant it. Billions of dollars in potential fraud remain undiscovered even then. The White House anti-fraud task force has already identified a quarter trillion dollars in fraud. The administration fulfilled its promise to eliminate fraud while saving billions.
