The Biden administration announced a series of measures Thursday to track down and punish fraudsters who scammed billions of taxpayer dollars that were supposed to provide relief to Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biden is pledging $1.6 billion to bolster law enforcement manpower and new programs that will be used to prosecute scammers, prevent fraud, and provide assistance to victims of identity theft.

“We want to not only capture them and get their funds, we want to send a signal to them that you can run, but you cannot hide,” said Gene Sperling, a Biden senior adviser who is overseeing the implementation of the COVID-relief plan.

THE LATEST

• The administration’s plans call for creating 10 Department of Justice “strike forces” that will include U.S. attorneys and other law enforcement officials to investigate COVID-relief fraud and help recover stolen tax dollars. The teams will target criminal syndicates and other major fraudsters. Three strike forces already are in place and have recovered millions of dollars in stolen relief funds, officials said.

• The administration also will propose increasing the statute of limitations to 10 years for fraud involving the pandemic Unemployment Insurance program, which has been hit especially hard by scammers.

• Some $300 million will be distributed to inspectors general at the Small Business Administration, the Department of Labor and the staff of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, a government watchdog over pandemic spending. The money would be used to hire investigators and make sure they have the resources needed to pursue specialized cases of pandemic fraud.

• In his proposed budget to be released next week, Biden will offer a package of legislative reforms to prevent, detect and recover payments made improperly through the Unemployment Insurance program.

• Federal grants would be made to states to help modernize their information technology systems to enable them to respond more quickly to fraud, decrease erroneous payments and provide more efficient claims processing.

• New initiatives also would be put in place to identify victims of identity theft, including an early warning system to stop potentially fraudulent transactions before they occur and a one-stop shop to report identity crimes.

WHY IT MATTERS

The federal government distributed more than $5 trillion in pandemic relief under programs approved by Biden and former President Donald Trump. The money was distributed quickly, leading to an increase in fraud and other improper payments, such as those that shouldn’t have been made or were made in the wrong amount.

The Government Accountability Office reported last month that the extent of fraud in COVID-relief programs is not yet known but that the Unemployment Insurance program alone was believed to have made more than $60 billion in fraudulent payments.

From March 2020 to last January, at least 1,044 people pleaded guilty or were convicted of defrauding COVID relief programs, the GAO report said. Federal charges were pending against another 609 individuals or entities for attempting to defraud COVID-relief programs.

Also, the federal government gave $5.4 billion in COVID aid to small businesses with “questionable” Social Security numbers, the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee reported in January. The watchdog identified nearly 70,000 questionable Social Security numbers used to obtain pandemic aid from two programs run by the Small Business Administration.

WHAT'S NEXT?

The Republican-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee has opened an investigation into fraud in COVID-relief programs. The committee held its first hearing on the subject last month.

Sperling, however, said the administration’s anti-fraud package isn’t a direct response to the GOP investigations. Most of the proposals were being prepared before last November’s election, he said.

do I have any legal ground to refuse to repay my federal student loans

#my college experience was not what I paid for due to a mishandled pandemic and the us has money for bombs but no money for schools #so like listen i'm not giving u anything #why did you loan several thousand dollars to a teenager with no assets who made less than $2k a year #conscientious objector to student loan repayment

Student loan payments refund

STUDENT LOAN HAVERS: Did you know that under the CARES act you can have any payments made after 3/13/20 refunded? This will cause your loan to go back up to that amount, but if anyone is getting their loan forgiven and has less than $10K or you're like me and were trying to pay down your loans during the 0% interest period and then got it forgiven finally for PSLF?

Just was on the phone with FedLoan and they have processed my refund. I may have cried a bit about this. Hopefully this information helps someone else out there!

My friend found this out from TikTok! It was a very very tiny sentence tucked away on my loan provider's webpage, so it's hidden away. But call and ask for it!!!

idk i just.... i definitely understand those who say its wrong to be upset over the student debt forgiveness, especially the ones arguing that on principle you should want and be working toward a better future for the people coming after you, but i also sympathize with the people who are bitter about having to pay their loans off before all this. like.... $10k in principal debt is a fucking lot for most people, not just to be wiped but also thinking about the interest that would have accrued otherwise. and i think the trolley problem memes and the "i dont want a cure for cancer bc its unfair to me who endured chemo and beat cancer before the cure was a thing" comics etc etc etc miss the mark a little bit like... you can agree on principle that its good and still be bitter that you had to, even shortly before all this.

i just think those analogies are quite reductive and are missing a big component that i cant quite put my finger on, but i certainly understand why some people are a little upset about having missed the boat, even if they agree that the people coming after them should have their debt forgiven.

#i say this as someone who hasnt paid any student loan debt yet bc i graduated only months before the pandemic was in fully swing so #never had to actually pay the interest it accrued #and now all of my admittedly limited debt is forgiven #so im not speaking from a place of bitterness on either end tbh

It’s not like an extra $20k off my back meant me finally moving out of my parents’ house and getting a car or anything.

#paige chatter #I have been faithfully paying back my private loan throughout the pandemic #I’ve lived within and even below my means #that extra $200+ a month wasn’t going toward designer clothes or expensive vacations #I was saving it for a car; for a way out #now I feel as if it’s been ripped from me #thanks for dangling that hope in front of us for so long; only to snatch it away #vent

student loans took cash out of the wrong acct on the big bills month (between wifi, rent, phone, effectively i have maybe 100$ left on my paycheque, so, rent). so i had to pay off credit AND that negative balance so my small savings is drained.
