A recent health benefits scam has been spreading online through sponsored advertising featuring celebrities and alleged beneficiaries, claiming to pay $6400 for groceries, rent, and gas.
6400 Dollar Subsidy Real or Fake
The government doesn’t provide citizens grants or free money for personal expenses. Find out here how to report “free money” scammers, how to refrain from fake subsidies, and locate whether these subsidies are true or not.
Did Joe Biden support a federal scheme to offer a $6,400 “health subsidy” to all Americans who watched a Facebook video?
That is untrue; the assertion that the government is freely disbursing thousands of dollars worth of health benefits is a scam. These kinds of scams usually appear with advertisements that ask if a person is in need of insurance or federal assistance.
6400$ Subsidy
This time, the narrative revolved around an individual who was eligible for and successfully obtained $6,400 from a health-related subsidy. The story went viral once more. But it’s a great scam for people.
The story of the $6,400 subsidy first surfaced in 2003. A Facebook video post that stated anyone might receive $6400 in their bank account went viral on March 13, 2003.
The woman can be heard on the video claiming that she called the health hotline and was approved for $6400 in credits. All the signs point to the $6400 health subsidy being a fraud intended to defraud vulnerable people of their money and personal information.
Together with her joyful celebration of being able to meet her financial demands, the woman sent a link to the website where she said anyone may verify their eligibility.
A handful of people ready to receive the health subsidy visited the specially designated website. They provided the necessary registration details, such as their address, phone number, income, and other insurance coverage in addition to their zip code.
Health Insurance
Under the Affordable Care Act, everyone is required to have health insurance, with exceptions for those covered by employer’s insurance or Medicare or Medicaid. If you would like to get insurance, you can go to any local health office.
Medicaid offers free or inexpensive medical care for limited means, children, pregnant women, and disabled individuals. Eligibility for health subsidies requires filing a tax return and a Premium Tax Credit.
Some Indicators Which Show This 6400$ Subsidy Is Real or Fake
Even while receiving free money seems good, there are several clear indicators that the $6400 offer is a fraud:
- The website is not connected to any official government health program and is not a.gov site.
- Direct cash payouts from government subsidies are contingent upon meeting qualifying requirements.
- Such a large subsidy has never been announced by any health agency.
- Scammers frequently pretend as government employees and put victims under strain by acting fast.
- Users never receive the promised money after registering.
How Do Government Health Subsidies Operate?
Official health subsidies like Medicaid and Medicare do not deposit money directly into people’s accounts, despite what the $6400 video portrays. Age, income, and handicap status are among the many criteria that determine eligibility for these programs, which have strict requirements.
Candidates have to go through a rigorous approval process and submit a lot of paperwork. Those who are accepted receive services or coverage for medical needs rather than direct financial aid.
Rather than social media films with misleading claims, official government websites offer accurate information on actual subsidy schemes.
How Can Customers Protect Against 6400$ Subsidy Fraud and Refrain from It?
Vigilance is necessary to protect money and personal information due to the increase in sophisticated digital scams. Some best practices are as follows:
- Before giving any website or person your info, make sure it’s trustworthy and official
- Visit the official websites and announcements of the government.
- If you have a friend who is working as a Government employee, you just need to confirm with him/her.
- Any questions or complaints should be directed to health and human services organizations.
- Resist the urge to hurry things along.
- Steer clear of requests for information or money that appear too good to be true or urgent.
- Check reliable sources before believing unsubstantiated assertions from websites or videos from third parties.
What To Do if You’ve Been Tricked?
If you have been met with any fake subsidy, you need to take some immediate action which we discuss here:
- Make immediate contact with your Bank Holder.
- Check your credit cards and bank accounts.
- If you have no strong passwords for any type of card, it’s risky.
- If you believe your password has been compromised by a scammer, you must reset it or change it to a strong one.
- Request that your bank charge back your money if scammers have already taken advantage of the transaction.
- You can report to the official website of the Federal Trade Commission.
- Be sure next time before installing any subsidy whether it’s true or fake.
To stay secure and safe, follow our recommendations which we have given above, and verify from official sources before getting any type of subsidy.

Hope all youtubers who faked this crap get hurt.

Did you seriously get one how did you do it are you on Medicaid went talk to me I need to know this cuz I’m living in a home with no power no water no nothing I could really use it
I hate to say it but your stupidity is probably what got you in the situation you are currently in to begin with. It’s amazing how stupid people are. Even after reading the entire article about how it s fake, you still respond to one troll that clearly was joking about actually receiving it. If you want to make some real money legitimately and fast, I’ll sell you beach front property in Tennessee I inherited 2 million acres of and don’t want it bc I don’t want to pay the taxes on it each year. I’ll let it go for $20 and acre. It’s worth over $5000/ acre I just don’t want to deal with it. Hit me up lmao
Lmboff Jordan
Sounds like a great deal, SOLD!! I only want a million acres though, cash app cool? ???
I continue to be amazed at the level of gullibility and willful ignorance out there. Yikes. ?
You got
Well I got fooled into getting Obama care Insurence which is pretty good for free health insurance
They said something about sending out a card with the money on it and never asked for a bank account or a cash app. So worst comes to worst u don’t get a card lol.
That’s not the way it works. You are not asked for that information up front. The end game is getting your personal info, name, address, phone, and most importantly, SS#. So no, worst comes to worst, the scammer sets up fake credit cards in your name and then you are well and truly screwed.
And they have all your info which to me isn’t worth it. Nobody just gives out $6400.
Me too. Even if the card doesn’t come, at least I have free health care.
For does YouTube get away with allowing these scam ads?
Because Google makes money everytime the video is watched. And you can call Google out on it but you will never get a response. It’s called GREED.
They should send the $6,400 for allowing it and not verifying it first.
The commercial with the rock or Oprah informing people on Facebook that you can get a $6,400 a month no pay back if you pass there 2 questions which is 1 do you make less than 50,000 a year and are you on Medicare or Medicaid is it legit I really need to know thanks.
No it’s not real. They get your information and sell it
I wonder how much these celebrities got paid for these scams. They should get in trouble for this
Those are voiceovers on other filmed videos, shows, commercials, the celebrity is not saying what the voiceover is saying. Watch their lips. It could even be A.I. talking and not a human voice impersonator.
Their mouth don’t match the words ….fake
I got mine, worked for me.
If u watch carefully as Oprah or the Rock speaks, that is not what their mouth/ lips are saying! Don’t forget AI has the capacity to copy voices. As many times as Oprah and The Rock has used their voices publicly it would be easy!!
Are you seriously asking this after reading this whole article!?? How are people so stupid!!???
No the spending card for groceries, rent, gas does not happen. A healthcare plan at $0 does happen. But don’t expect any kind of card with cash loaded on it, that can be used to buy food for your family or help keep a roof over your head …. That part is bullshit. These websites get paid for feeding enrollment applications to big healthcare companies like Aetna, United Health, Cigna etc. When they enroll you for the healthcare plan, and have you resign the document… No mention is made of the spending card. When ask, “what about the spending card that will help me pay my rent and buy groceries?”, they tell you that it will come from the plan provider…. and when you ask the plan provider about it, they say . .. “if there is any kind of gift card or cash incentive, it would be from the website that signed you up.” …. Oh, really? How convenient, since it was reached thru one of many links now saturating the Internet and it’s impossible to determine which one you landed on, and if you do get back to a live rep and they figure out that someone already signed you up for the healthcare policy and that you are calling about the spending card… They quickly disconnect the call or repeat what was said initially… That it will be sent from the provider, not them. There seriously needs to be some kind of checks and balance system governing some rules and ethical business practices when it comes to advertisements like these or even the total B.S. advertisements for games that can earn you hundreds of dollars direct ti yiur paypal or CashApp accts. or gift cards worth enough to actually buy anything .. it’s all out of control . Shame on the YouTube “influencers” and celebrities selling themselves out to promote total crap.
I got my card though? It’s only a one time amount of $6400 though, not monthly. Kind of like a stimulus check
You got card was money on it
Stop!!
What insurance company did they sign you up with
No kidding why doesn’t our pathetic government step up to this misleading. Instead the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer and continue with false hope.
All true facts you made, I went through the same thing.
Appreciate the information although that subsidy just don’t make sense, why would you think you’re going to get 6400 from the government…this makes no actual sense!!! Critical thinking folks, use it!
I love that every advertisement on this page is for a $1400 a month subsidy card…. Sigh
Is this health care insurance through subsidy real
Totally a Fake and scam to get your info and never receive a cent
???????
These ads for $6400 subsidy should not be allowed and against the law due to being fraudulent. Sick of scammers and sick of them being blatenly allowed to get away with it.
The video with the Rock and Oprah is fake as well. It’s the video from the Hawaii deal with faked audio. Use your head folks, there is NO FREE MONEY…or free anything for that matter. I’m currently paying for your “free” healthcare!
Right! So the card with $6400 on it was from you then! Thank you!
Last year (2022) I had to pay for insurance, this year(2023) I got it free, (It was not quite as good but it was still very decent) , I think this what the celebs are all referiing to. Like if you missed this you can get 6400 in heath benefits. The ad is misleading bc they are saying you can use the 6400 (that you save don healthcare) for rent and bills but I do not think they are just giving the cash away. Basically you end up paying for it when you file your taxes.
I signed up for the insurance… Then they kept calling all the time I answered finally and they kept me on the phone 45 mins after I told them I had insurance, but since they insisted what is this 6500 spending card that You tube continues to allow advertising?
So as someone already commented they run you around like crazy, people hang up when I mentioned the spending card and they someone else would answer then throw me over to senior bs … who say the government is generous bit not that generous! The thing is they advertise the hell out of it on YouTube and they continued calling calling calling but when you need a direct answer it is bull, lie on lie!
I want to scream at these folks and shame on YouTube for allowing this bullshit stupid advertisement..
The other thing I would love to know is..
I got the bill from my health insurance and 0 dollars do I pay but it has where the government is going to pay 900.00 months!
What if I make 14,000 a year… how in the world could I pay 900.00 monthly for insurance! I think all of it is a big fat lie… I think all of this stuff is hurrah for me and f you!
The government don’t give a …. If I live or die …. Totally could care less and they are going to send me the statement bill that they pay 900.00 monthly! I seriously think they think we are so stupid. They have to …..
You couldn’t* care less. Sorry, pet peeve.
And they don’t just think the public are stupid; they actually know it as a fact. Look around. They are 100% correct. Look at how many mindless drones follow in lock step to the covid/vaccine BS without questioning the government or big pharma. Humans are pathetic
97.5% of the population aren’t even real individuals anymore. They are not alive. They are just NPCs now. Non-Player Characters. Conscious, but thoughtless, soulless, empty. Like socks without feet in them. Empty
I checked out the advertisement too! I figure these guys are going to run into the mob mentality one day…soon! I sincerely hope not, but it is a federal crime to comit fraud over state lines and wire fraud over the internet. I’d suggest a class action law suit to handle the problem, it’s why class action tools are out there. Considering all the players, and frauds, and all the cash in the scammer’s pockets, the Justice Department could really clean house!
Everybody could actually get $6800+ if the Justice Department does prosecute.
Only stimulus I ever received was when Donald Trump issued it. Make America great again! Bring back Trump
