Final answer:
The intentional act of deceiving or making misrepresentations to unlawfully obtain money or property from a federal program is known as fraud.
Step-by-step explanation:
Someone intentionally deceiving or making misrepresentations to obtain money or property of any federal program is an example of fraud. Fraud involves intentionally lying or misrepresenting facts in order to gain unauthorized benefits, such as money or property. This is different from abuse, which typically refers to a serious problem or violation of the law or a contract that doesn't necessarily include deceit or false representation. In the context of federal programs, fraud can take many forms, including misrepresentation of information, theft of services, or identity theft, which is sometimes referred to as "True-name Fraud" when someone wrongfully acquires and uses another person’s personal identification without permission.
