Fraud Scheme Uncovered in Connection with Rental Assistance Program Ended by Governor Reeves
Issues: Entitlements and the Safety Net
Governor Tate Reeves today issued the following statement in response to the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi's announcement regarding the discovery of a RAMP (Rental Assistance for Mississippians Program) fraud scheme.
"Today's announcement is more proof that Mississippi made the right call by ending RAMP," said Governor Tate Reeves. "Not only did this program run astray of its original intent, but we saw an increasing number of potentially fraudulent applications. While some Democrat politicians lambasted our decision, the discovery of this fraud scheme further justifies terminating the program."
