Vance chairs anti-fraud task force report, citing $11.4B in savings

Vice President JD Vance chaired the third quarterly meeting of the administration's Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Task Force on March 12, 2026, announcing $11.4 billion in identified savings since the task force's founding. The task force reviews federal payment systems for duplicate payments, ineligible beneficiaries, and improper claims; the Government Accountability Office uses stricter definitions distinguishing identified irregularities from confirmed fraud recoveries, and had not independently verified the task force's cumulative savings figures.
