Government Benefits Fraud

Government Benefits Fraud

Prevent criminals from stealing government benefit and insurance payments.

Are identity thieves targeting your institution to commit government benefits fraud?

Government benefits delivered through direct deposit are vulnerable to scams and can be stolen and used by criminals to intercept and reroute payments. Criminals manipulate benefits, with stolen identities and mule recruitment as primary methods. Financial institutions play an important role in uncovering and reporting this activity.

Nasdaq Verafin alerts you to government benefits activity that appears suspicious and provides automated SAR e-filing functionality to quickly and efficiently report your findings to FinCEN.

Features

Nasdaq Verafin compares the payee information on the incoming payment to the customer account information to alert you when these details do not match.

UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT FRAUD

When an account that has been open for less than one month receives an unemployment insurance benefits payment, Nasdaq Verafin alerts investigators to take action.

HEALTH CARE BENEFITS FRAUD

Nasdaq Verafin incorporates key evidence to detect potentially fraudulent activity targeting health care benefit programs, health insurance, and health care relief funds paid to health care workers.

EXCESSIVE FEDERAL/STATE TAX RETURN
