42 U.S.C. § 300x–56 — Prohibitions regarding receipt of funds

(a) Establishment — (1) Certain false statements and representations. No one may knowingly and willfully make, or cause to be made, a false statement about a material fact to get paid for items or services out of a State's section 300x or 300x–21 grant. (2) Concealing or failing to disclose certain events. If someone knows about something that would affect whether they should keep getting paid from the grant, they can't hide it or fail to report it if they're trying to fraudulently get a bigger payment than they should, or any payment when they shouldn't get one at all. (b) Criminal penalty for violation of prohibition — Anyone who breaks either of these rules can, for each violation, be fined under title 18, imprisoned for up to 5 years, or both.
