Duluth Superior, MN, October 20, 2026 —

Donald Trump and JD Vance announced a $25 million program intended to encourage members of the public to report suspected fraud involving federal programs and funds. The program offers rewards of up to $30,000 for tips that lead to enforcement actions, according to the announcement summary.

The announcement describes the initiative as a way to solicit information from the public. It does not specify how the $25 million will be allocated, who will administer the program, or how people would submit tips. It also does not identify which federal programs or types of suspected fraud are covered.

The stated reward is a maximum, not a guaranteed payment for every report. Under the terms provided, a tip must lead to an enforcement action to qualify for a reward. The announcement summary does not explain how that standard will be assessed, who will determine eligibility, or whether there are additional conditions for receiving payment.

Further details were not provided about when the program will begin, how long it will operate, or what qualifies as an enforcement action. The summary also does not identify the agencies involved or describe procedures for reviewing reports. Those details would help clarify how the program is intended to work and how rewards will be handled.

For now, the announced parameters are limited to the program’s $25 million figure, its stated purpose of encouraging reports of suspected fraud against federal programs and dollars, and a maximum reward of $30,000 for tips that lead to enforcement actions. No additional implementation information was included in the summary.
