Vance Says Anti-Fraud Task Force Identified $230 Billion in Fraud, Blocked $56 Billion in Payments
Vance said the administration has identified about $230 billion in suspected fraud and wants Congress to codify data-sharing and tougher penalties.
- On Wednesday, Florida Sen. Ashley Moody met Vice President Vance at the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud to discuss federal anti-fraud initiatives and legislative reforms aimed at safeguarding public funds.

- Calling the meeting a "springboard for future cooperation," Moody emphasized the need for continued intergovernmental coordination to track emerging scams and hold bad actors accountable for exploiting public programs.
- Legislative efforts target diverse sectors, including the STOP Scams Against Seniors Act, the Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act, the Stop Child Care Scams Act, and the No Aid for Ghost Students Act.
