Complaints regarding fraud, waste, or abuse related to a HAF program must be filed with Treasury Office of Inspector General (OIG) by accessing the OIG website at oig.treasury.gov then clicking the “Report Fraud, Waste & Abuse” link at the bottom of the page. The Office of Inspector General offers the following guidance, which is also available at: Report Fraud, Waste and Abuse | Office of Inspector General (treasury.gov).
In addition to filing a complaint with OIG, we strongly recommend you also report HAF fraud to the local agency responsible for disbursing HAF award funds (the entity who accepts and processes HAF applications for HAF assistance). That agency may be able to take immediate action regarding the issue or redirect funds appropriately.

Please be aware that local law enforcement is a valuable resource for many issues of the type you may also refer to the OIG.Local law enforcement may offer advantages such as the ability to interact quickly with the community, prosecute criminal offenses, and often has comprehensive victim, witness, and social services support programs which may better offer real-time assistance. Your State, Tribal, Territorial, or DC law enforcement agency with primary law enforcement jurisdiction is usually the same agency that responds to 911 calls.
