AI Summary: This regulation establishes a Task Force to Eliminate Fraud within the Executive Office of the President, chaired by the Vice President, to address widespread fraud, waste, and abuse in federally funded benefit programs administered by states. The Task Force will coordinate a national strategy to improve eligibility verification, implement pre-payment controls, identify fraud indicators and vulnerabilities, enhance data sharing between government levels and agencies, disrupt fraud networks, investigate and stop fraud mechanisms, prevent the transfer of fraud proceeds, and conduct audits and monitoring. It will also require agencies to identify and propose measures to prevent fraud in their most susceptible transactions and processes, and within 60 days, coordinate the adoption of minimum anti-fraud requirements for these transactions, with potential withholding of federal funds from jurisdictions that do not implement adequate requirements. The regulation also directs the Attorney General to promote private civil actions to pursue fraud involving taxpayer dollars.
