Operation Restore Trust is described as which type of program?

• A. A Pilot, Voluntary Disclosure Program
• B. A Mandatory Enforcement Program
• C. An Informational Campaign
• D. A Grant Program

Answer: (D)

A grant program provides funds to recipients to carry out specific activities or projects, with defined goals and reporting requirements. Operation Restore Trust fits this because it was framed as distributing resources to states and other entities to support anti-fraud and compliance efforts, training, oversight, and related activities, rather than mandating enforcement actions or merely spreading information. It isn’t a mandatory enforcement effort, which would rely on penalties or directives, nor is it solely an informational campaign aimed at awareness. It also isn’t simply a small-scale pilot testing a concept, since the initiative was designed to fund broader, ongoing activities.
