Report Fraud, Waste and Abuse

One of the core missions of the Massachusetts Recovery and Reinvestment Office is preventing fraud, waste, and mismanagement of stimulus funds. The mass.gov/recovery website gives you the ability to find stimulus projects in your own neighborhood and if you suspect fraudulent actions related to the project you can report those concerns with this form. The Massachusetts Recovery and Reinvestment Office is committed to helping ensure these funds are spent properly. We appreciate your assistance in helping us accomplish that goal.
