Social Security Administration

The Fraud Hotline provides a means for individuals to report instances of fraud, waste, and abuse concerning the Social Security Administration's programs and operations. It addresses allegations of legal or regulatory violations impacting SSA services. Situations that can be reported include, but are not limited to, individuals receiving Social Security Benefits for children not in their custody, continuing to collect benefits for deceased individuals, hiding marriages or assets while receiving disability benefits, and receiving disability benefits while living abroad. Reports can be submitted online, by phone, mail, fax, or in person at any Social Security Office.
