Let's Get Talking | United Council on Welfare Fraud

Описание: The United Council on Welfare Fraud [UCOWF] is the only national membership association dedicated to defending against the erosion of integrity in public assistance programs – equipping members across the industry with crucial resources for collaboration, professional development, and advocacy.

Our volunteer membership organization convenes investigative agencies, recovery specialists, and legal professionals working toward the detection, elimination and prosecution of those who fraudulently pursue or obtain government benefits.

The United Council on Welfare Fraud is:

NATIONALLY-PRESENT
We are the only organization in the welfare program integrity space with this degree of wide-reaching membership, which expedites information transfer and builds deeper expertise.

ADAPTIVELY-MINDED
We believe it’s essential to keep communications and training up-to-date, because justice must evolve with crime.

INDUSTRY-INCLUSIVE
Our approach intentionally brings together individuals who engage with public assistance programs at all stages, in order to communicate the crucial teamwork required to defend program integrity.

ADVOCACY
At our core, we are passionate about protecting the honest citizens whose taxes sustain welfare programs as well as protecting our neighbors in need. We work to ensure all people are protected against those who seek to find and exploit weaknesses in the federal assistance eligibility processes and programs. We have the capability to educate and advocate for change against eroding standards at numerous levels – from local to federal government – by aligning and organizing our members around effective messaging to communicate data, relevant information, and factual accounts of welfare fraud and its wide-ranging impact.
