With the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the federal government created significant incentives for companies to apply for economic stimulus funding and grants to alleviate the devastating economic impacts from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. With over $2 trillion in government aid being disbursed, federal and state law enforcement agencies already are investigating companies and business owners in connection with their receipt of stimulus funding and grants. In addition to oversight investigations by the U.S. Treasury’s new Special Inspector General, financial services institutions and healthcare providers will face audits and reviews by their regulators regarding their acceptance of CARES Act assistance. Also, companies not typically part of the regulated financial system will face increased scrutiny through government investigations and audits. Beyond possible criminal investigations, companies receiving pandemic stimulus assistance could face civil investigations and litigation (including under the federal False Claims Act) in connection with various certifications and reports required by the government as part of the loan application process. This 75-minute webinar will provide an overview of the enforcement provisions of the CARES Act, summarize current trends in COVID-19 anti-fraud enforcement by federal, state law and local enforcement agencies, and will explain why companies receiving federal aid should position themselves to demonstrate compliance and manage enforcement and litigation risk.

Vince Farhat, Justin Anderson and Seena Max Samimi, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP
