Please review the below descriptions of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse:
-
- Fraud is the intentional (willful or purposeful) deception or misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge that the deception could result in some unauthorized benefit to him/herself or some other person. There are many forms of fraud and one common fraud found in COVID-19 pandemic relief programs is the certification of false information.
- Waste includes over‐utilizing PHFA’s services, supplies, or equipment, or causing unnecessary costs through carelessness or inefficiency.
- Abuse includes activities that result in unnecessary costs to PHFA and the PAHAF Program. Note that this is financial abuse, not physical or emotional abuse of a person. Physical and emotional abuse of a person should be reported to the police.
