The White House is directing Americans to a new online tool that sends fraud reports straight from a citizen's browser to the Treasury Department, bypassing the courts and offering a possible $30,000 payout for information that leads to recovered funds.
A graphic posted by the White House Rapid Response account on October 20 displays the America.gov fraud reporting portal, which promises that a report is encrypted and the filer's name is optional. "It goes straight from your browser to the Treasury Department. America.gov keeps nothing," the page states.
From Secret Lawsuits to Instant Agency Routing
The portal's pitch contrasts the new process with the old way of exposing government fraud. "Reporting fraud used to mean filing a lawsuit in secret and waiting years for a result. Now your report goes to the right office the moment you submit it," the page reads.
Users are prompted to describe what happened in a few sentences: what they saw, who was involved, and when the fraud occurred. They can attach up to five documents or photos and may remain anonymous. After submission, the system compiles a report, routes it to the federal office best positioned to act, and provides a reference number.
Partner Agencies and a $30,000 Incentive
The page notes that since January 2025, partner agencies have reported how much fraud they uncovered, how much they stop each year, and how much they recovered. It also tells potential whistleblowers: "you may be eligible for up to $30,000."
The White House shared the page without additional commentary, letting the portal's direct appeal speak for itself as the administration pushes its anti-fraud agenda.
