New Fraud.gov Tip Intake Form
The Department of the Treasury is launching a new online Fraud.gov tip intake form for individuals and households to report suspected waste, fraud, abuse, improper payments, and misuse of Federal funds. Tips will be triaged, de-duplicated, and referred to the appropriate Federal agency, inspector general, law enforcement organization, or other authorized entity for review and potential action.
AI-Assisted Tip Processing
An artificial intelligence tool will process initial tip entries, populate them into standardized fields, and provide suggested routing recommendations; respondents can review and edit the populated fields before submitting, and Treasury personnel will apply review and quality-control procedures before referral.
Estimated Reporting Time Burden
Treasury estimates 80,000 respondents will use the Fraud.gov tip form, with an estimated time per response of 30 minutes, totaling 40,000 estimated annual burden hours.
