The dashboard reports three figures from each executive agency: fraud uncovered, fraud stopped and fraud enforced.

Among the various agencies reporting, the Small Business Administration (SBA) leads out with $122.9 billion in uncovered fraud and $22.6 billion recovered.

Health and Human Services (HHS) reports that $96.2 billion in fraud has been uncovered, heavily driven by aggressive state-level Medicaid and Medicare audits.

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) uncovered $6.7 million in fraud, including a surge in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) enforcement that permanently disqualified 735 fraudulent retailers.

Also, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reported $329 million uncovered and $83.8 million in fraud stopped.

The dashboard also highlights several examples where the fraud task force uncovered fraud or paused more than $2 billion and $500 million in Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota, respectively.

The website reports a running list of prosecutions and charges against individuals suspected of fraud, including a May 21, 2026, charge against 15 individuals in Minnesota for over $90 million in fraud.

According to the Dashboard, “DOJ charged 15 individuals in a Minnesota healthcare fraud scheme exceeding $90 million, the highest loss ever charged in a state Medicaid case and the largest autism-services fraud ever prosecuted.”

The White House reported that another enforcement action saw 1,076 hospices removed from the Medicare program in California alone.

According to the official Fraud.gov website: “The Trump Administration will not rest until every scheme is exposed, every recoverable dollar is returned to the American people, and public trust is restored.”
