UCOWF recognizes and deeply appreciates the important work being undertaken by the White House Fraud Task Force to strengthen the integrity, accountability, and effectiveness of government assistance programs. We commend these continued efforts to identify and address fraud, waste, and abuse and to ensure that public resources are protected and appropriately directed to those who are eligible and in need.

UCOWF remains committed to supporting these efforts and looks forward to continuing our collaborative partnership in advancing effective strategies to prevent, detect, and combat fraud, waste, and abuse across government assistance programs. We value the opportunity to work alongside our federal partners in promoting program integrity, safeguarding taxpayer resources, and strengthening public trust in these vital programs.
