Types of Federal Government Fraud Defense Cases We Handle
The federal government interfaces with various companies and individuals through contracts, programs, and services. Attempting to obtain money, services, or other things of value from the federal governments through contracts or programs can lead to charges of government fraud. At Agre & St. John, our federal government fraud defense attorneys represent clients accused of various kinds of government fraud, including:
- Social Security fraud – Individuals who become disabled can apply to obtain benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income programs administered by the Social Security Administration.

- Medicare/Medicaid fraud – Individuals may engage in Medicare/Medicaid fraud by providing false information to secure eligibility for Medicare/Medicaid benefits. Healthcare providers can also commit Medicare/Medicaid fraud by submitting false or fraudulent claims for reimbursement, including claims for services never rendered or using the wrong codes to obtain greater reimbursement.
- Small Business Administration fraud – Businesses may defraud the federal government by improperly obtaining money and other financial benefits from the SBA, such as SBA loans or Paycheck Protection Program funding.
- HUD fraud – Individuals may falsely obtain HUD benefits, such as housing assistance, by providing false income, employment, or family status information.
