The Fraud Early Warning (FEW) work unit conducts intake and initial screening of cases referred to FIU to identify and refer cases requiring further investigation.

Work assignments and investigations should be conducted by the Criminal Investigator III (Crim Inv III) with limited input or guidance for all required functions, however, on occasion when complex or advanced-level functions, case investigations, or assessments requiring advanced level processes or experience require additional collaboration and/or guidance from a work lead, or supervisor within the work unit, the investigator will notify them and seek assistance.
