PERAC distributes new fraud prevention materials as part of its statutory obligation to maintain a toll-free hotline (1-800-445-3266) for reporting suspected fraudulent public pension claims. The 2019 campaign slogan is "Blow the Whistle on Pension Fraud." Each board receives three copies each of the poster, a brochure describing the PERAC Fraud Prevention Unit, and "Referral Report of Potential Fraud" forms. County and regional retirement systems will separately receive materials to distribute to local governmental units. Suspected pension fraud may also be reported by email at PensionFraud@per.state.ma.us or via the online form at mass.gov/forms/online-fraud-referral-form.
