MEP Recruiter Standards of Conduct

4. Report fraud.

The recruiter

• protects the reputation and integrity of the MEP by

reporting fraud that he or she observes; and

• is responsible for reporting if he or she is being pressured

to enroll a child who doesn’t appear to be eligible.

Remind participants that they are talking as a table to decide what they do in their role as a recruiter to meet this standard of conduct.
Follow instructions from slide 9 to work through this standard of conduct.

Not reporting fraud may deprive eligible migratory children of needed services, is against the law and could result in criminal prosecution.
When there is fraud, intentional falsification or misconduct in ID&R, the public at large, who pay taxes in the belief that federal funds are being spent as authorized by Congress, is being deceived, as is the federal government, which awards State funding on the assumption that State child counts are accurate.
