Federal Law Enforcement Activities

The Department is pursuing a wide array of foreign and domestic schemes impacting older Americans.  For example:

• The Department has aggressively investigated numerous transnational fraud schemes (e.g., Jamaican lottery and technical-support scams), bringing criminal and civil actions against hundreds of defendants from around the globe who victimized millions of Americans.
• The Department is actively pursuing nursing homes that are denying Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries essential nursing services to which they are entitled.
• And the Department is committed to prosecuting a wide array of CARES Act and COVID-19 fraud schemes.
