Key Takeaways

  • •You must swear that the information you give in your claim is true.
  • •If you lie on purpose, you can get in big trouble, like in court.
  • •This rule is serious—lying can mean you broke the law.

Example

You say you lost $1,000 in a car crash and ask for money.

If you lie and say it was $1,000 when it was really $500, you could get in trouble for lying under oath.
