WASHINGTON — President Trump will sign an executive order Monday afternoon formally creating a benefits fraud task force chaired by Vice President JD Vance — the president’s designee to lead a nationwide “war on fraud.”
Vance will join Trump in the Oval Office for the signing, underscoring the president’s continued emphasis on the project after highlighting a social-services scam scandal in Minnesota that has led to dozens of indictments, including for phony nutrition and autism care programs.
A document describing the looming order says “there is strong reason to believe similar vulnerabilities exist in California, Illinois, New York, Maine, and Colorado, where insufficient safeguards and weak oversight increase the risk of large-scale fraud.”
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson will assist Vance as vice chair of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud and White House aide Stephen Miller will serve as senior adviser. Cabinet members will participate as necessary.
The EO instructs the task force to develop a comprehensive national strategy against fraud impacting programs administered with state and local governments to provide housing, food, medical and financial assistance.
The order calls for the development of anti-fraud standards such as proof of identity and other documentation requirements, as well as audits.

If Vance arrests the fraudsters he’ll be more popular than a rock star. DOGE was hugely popular to all but the political talking class. But if DOGE was just talk and no action, the people will hate the Republicans more than they’ll hate the Dim fraudsters themselves.
Awesomesauce!
This is so unfair! How will the left’s rent-a-mob freaks and losers get paid?
I thought that was announced 4 weeks ago.
Opportunity for Vance to look like a sheriff.
A look not achieved by Blondi, Kash, or Corey’s girl.
Well,good this will give Vance an opportunity to show what he can do on his own.
Wonderful
Now have him replace THUNE in the Congress....NOW!
LOL! Sic ‘Em, Vance!
I think I’ll name my next farm guard dog, ‘Vance.’ ;)
So you want him to resign from his current position and somehow get in the Senate?
Per the Constitution both Houses of Congre3ss are free to make up their own rules of governance. Vance as VP presides over the Senate which means he gavels it to order*, closes it* and votes to break ties. That’s it!
* He can delegate that to Senators.
Now that’s an add-Vance!
HIRE SOME OF MUSK’S WIZARDS
FTA—— a document wrt the Trump/Vance order says “there is strong reason to believe vulnerabilities similar to Somalis’ rampant Minnesota fraud exist in California, Illinois, New York, Maine, and Colorado———insufficient safeguards and weak oversight increase the risk of large-scale fraud.”
Understatement of the Year.
“state and local governments to provide housing, food, medical and financial assistance.”
That describes the Deloitte IES Integrated Eligibility System that enrolls the poor in Sec8, TANF, SNAP/EBT, WIC, Medicaid, CHPS, etc. Deloitte IES is in 25 states, mostly the big ones (ME VT MA CT NY PA NJ VA OH MI IL KY MO TN GA FL TX CO MT CA etc)
Deloitte IES is designed to enroll the DEAD.
Deloitte IES is designed to enroll DUPs. Sue Smith, Susan Smith, Susan Jones-Smith have the same DOB, SSN, address and are the same person but have 3 distinct IDs and welfare packages in Deloitte IES.
Deloitte has other dirty data.
A major waste in other IT firms like Gainwell Technologies, and Insurance Companies and Providers is the garbage data they receive from Deloitte IES.
Some SNAP and Medical Providers take advantage of the Deloitte dirty data. They bill and are paid for the dead and DUPs. If the IG questions the bill a year later (which is rare) they blame their billing service, repay the overage and consider it a no interest loan.
No I understood that he can as VP take Thune’s leadership position if he has a plurality of 27
Thank God we have Vance steering the investigation to stop the financial destruction of America by the dems and illegals.
I live in NYS.
This is excellent news.
Drain the cesspool that is our state and local government.
Wow. Big Balls, is that you?
No! Some other GOP Senator can but not the VP. VP job is constitutionally very restricted. That’s why Truman’s VP Alvin Barkley called it “Not worth a warm barrel of spit!”.
But, but, fraud is good for people and the country. (Like the lamestream media told us that Bill's lying is good.)
