Field notes
The homepage lists 43 entries across federal, state, and local levels, with controls for hard versus soft fraud; each case page is described as showing figures, sources, and confidence. Soft-fraud examples include payments without proof, uncollected taxes, and ignored audit savings. A $2.98 trillion total since 2004 is attributed to PaymentAccuracy.gov data summed by FraudBad, so it is a project calculation, not a single agency figure.
