US Edition'Systemic fraud:' HUD Secretary Condemns $5.8 Billion in 'Questionable' Payments
About 200,000 potentially ineligible recipients, including 30,000 deceased, received $5.8 billion in questionable rental assistance payments, exposing critical program weaknesses, HUD said.
- Reported Tuesday by the New York Post, HUD's inaugural advanced-analytics review found $5.8 billion in dubious rental-assistance payments during last year.
- HUD attributed the problems to process gaps and material weaknesses in program controls, flagging insufficient validation of some businesses and weak tracking of Public Housing Authorities and HUD-funded grantees.
- The review said the questionable payments went to around 200,000 ineligible recipients, including 30,054 deceased people, and flagged $77 million to deceased tenants, $250 million tied to improper Social Security numbers, and $287 million for excessive rents.
- Turner blamed weak controls during the Biden administration while saying HUD will strengthen program integrity, continue investigating the `shocking` payments and `hold bad actors accountable.`
- Amid heightened scrutiny of taxpayer-funded programs, an independent watchdog report last week found more than $200,000,000 in Medicaid payments to dead people, including recent criticism of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
