About UCOWF 

The United Council on Welfare Fraud (UCOWF) is an organization of investigators, administrators, prosecutors, eligibility workers, and claims writers from local, state and federal agencies from the United States and Canada who have combined their efforts to fight fraud, waste, and abuse in social service programs.  It is organized and operates under a strict set of By-Laws created during UCOWF's establishment and implemented a Code of Ethics for all members. 

For more than 30 years members of the United Council on Welfare Fraud have been active in preventing, detecting, eliminating and prosecuting welfare fraud in its many forms. UCOWF members have been instrumental in the recovery of taxpayer monies lost through waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs designed to aid the needy. UCOWF's membership currently consists of welfare investigators, administrators, and recovery specialists, as well as fraud prosecutors from 47 states, the District of Columbia and 7 Canadian provinces, establishing a professional network from Hawaii to Newfoundland.

The primary purpose of our organization has always been the promotion of effective and efficient administration of public welfare. As the direction and manner of providing assistance to the needy have changed over the years, our members have consistently been the first to encounter and address the program integrity aspects inherent in those changes; for despite how well-intentioned and generous a program may be in aiding people truly in need, there will always be those who will try to capitalize on opportunities and cheat the system.

Our active, experienced, and diverse membership provides a wealth of knowledge, information, and support for the professional fraud investigator. We maintain a large library of training resources which are available to our members for career enhancement and professional growth. In addition, we sponsor the most widely recognized certification program for welfare fraud investigators in North America.

As our membership grows and UCOWF moves confidently into the 21st century, we are committed to assisting our members with their professional advancement by providing desirable and effective training programs and self-study resources. We are equally committed to assisting the public through the continued vigilance of the Public Assistance program administration and promoting assistance progam policies that advocate the vigorous prosecution of those attempting to defraud our society.
