The FBI established this classification September 9, 1978, to document its investigation of fraud against the Government - Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). Prior to its establishment, fraud against the government cases involving HEW were maintained under classification 46, the general classification for fraud cases. On November 25, 1980, classification 209 was redesignated for fraud against the government cases involving Health and Human Services and classification 213 was established for fraud against the government cases involving the newly created Department of Education. Fraud matters can involve false claims, false staterments, misrepresentations not resulting in pecuniary loss, and kickbakcs. They can develop into criminal offenses and/or civil suits. The largest categories of cases arising under this classification represent fraud in the areas of welfare, social security, health care, and educational grants. Those engaging in fraud include persons receiving assistance, Government employees employed by HHS agencies, and outside firms or organizations sharing in administration of the programs. FBI Field Offices refer fraud complaints to the local U.S. Attorney's office to determine whether the matter has sufficient substance to warrant prosecutive consideration. If the U.S. Attorney wishes to prosecute the matter, the Field Office prepares a prosecutive report and submits a final letterhead memorandum to Headquarters once the case is completed.
