Fraud Referral Federal Student Aid Program

Title 34 Code of Federal Regulations CFR 668.16 (g) Standards of Administrative Capability require an institution to refer to the Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) any credible information indicating that an applicant for Title IV federal student aid may have engaged in fraud or other criminal misconduct in connection with his or her application. Remember that fraud is the intent to deceive as opposed to a mistake. If you suspect such intent on the part of a student, report it to the OIG by telephoning 1-800-MISUSED.
