The primary mission of the Task Force is to tackle issues surrounding fraud, waste and abuse and to identify potential targets for collective anti-fraud efforts, such as public benefits programs. In addition, it will assess existing investigative and enforcement methods to develop best practices among state agencies in identifying and preventing fraud, waste and abuse. The Task Force was originally proposed by the Patrick-Murray Administration and approved by the State Legislature in the Fiscal Year 2011 Budget.

The $30.6 billion budget includes cost-saving reforms, makes targeted investments to build a stronger Commonwealth and eliminates structural deficit.
