Covid-19 Financial Support Schemes Fraud

COVID-19 Financial Support Scheme Fraud is an offence in accordance with the Financial Provisions and Currency Act 2011. Within the Act it states that ‘A person who provides false, incomplete, or misleading information in connection with an application under this Scheme commits an offence’. The maximum penalty is a fine of level 5 on the standard scale and/or six months in custody.

Someone could be charged with committing fraud if there is evidence that they:

  • Intentionally did not report a change in their circumstances affecting their claim for financial assistance within the scheme, thus making the application ineligible.
  • Being dishonest in order to get financial assistance to which they are not entitled.
