COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division has uncovered roughly $350 million in alleged fraud across the Southeastern U.S., the Daily Caller has learned.
The charges span seven states in 17 different cases and involve SNAP benefits, Small Business Administration loans, housing benefits and tax fraud, officials told the Caller. The DOJ is expected to announce the cases Thursday alongside state partners in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina, which helped uncover the fraud.
Going forward, the seven states have agreed to data-sharing agreements with the division that will give the DOJ access to “publicly available corporate registration and public benefits payment data held by these state agencies,” according to information shared with the Caller. Officials expect the data to help the department identify fraud patterns across businesses.
