A quick definition of government fraud:

Government fraud is when someone lies or cheats to get money or benefits from the United States Government. This is a type of crime that usually happens when the government is buying things or giving out money to people who need it. Some examples of government fraud are when people charge too much money for things, or when they say they did something they didn't really do. Anyone can commit government fraud, and if someone thinks it happened, they can report it to gao.gov.

A more thorough explanation:

Government fraud is a type of crime where someone tries to cheat or deceive the United States Government. This usually happens when the government is involved in contracts or programs that give money to people or companies. It is against the law and is called 18 U.S. Code § 1031.

One example of government fraud is when a company lies about the quality of the parts they are selling to the government. Another example is when a person or company charges the government twice for the same thing. Sometimes, people even bribe government officials to get contracts or money from the government.

Government fraud can be committed by anyone, including people who work for the government. If someone thinks that government fraud has happened, they can report it at gao.gov.

These examples show how people can cheat the government by lying, stealing, or bribing. This is against the law and can result in serious consequences.
