President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday announced a $25 million program to encourage the public to blow the whistle on suspected fraud in the U.S. government.
This as the administration ramps up efforts to end the abuse of federal programs and dollars.
The White House says under the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, anyone who submits a tip that leads to a fraud conviction or a significant federal enforcement action could receive up to $30,000.
Trump said payments will amount to a 1 percent commission on the amount of fraud the tip helps uncover.
Trump also announced that he will decide who gets reward money in cases where more than one person claims to have provided the tip.
