    FTC Takes Action Against High-Level MLM Participant who Deceived Workers About the Amount of Money They Can Earn

    The Federal Trade Commission is taking action against a high-level participant in a multilevel marketing (MLM) company over allegations she used false or baseless earning claims to recruit workers, most of whom did not earn any money from the venture. The FTC alleged in a complaint that Stormy Wellington, who has been a high-level participant in two different MLMs, used deceptive earnings claims to recruit new members to Total Life Changes (TLC) and, more recently, Farmasi. “Today’s actions make clear that the FTC will go after individuals who deceive consumers trying to earn a living,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “This case highlights the FTC’s ongoing efforts to protect workers from recruiters who misrepresent potential earnings.” In MLMs, individual participants market and sell the MLM’s products or services and recruit new participants, who themselves will sell the MLM’s products or services and recruit new participants. Wellington was a high-level participant who benefitted from recruiting new members using allegedly false or misleading promises of earning significant income. In YouTube videos and social media posts, Wellington tried to entice new participants by claiming they could make hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars, according to the FTC’s complaint. For example, Wellington posted a video on her Facebook page promoting TLC that included a caption stating, “I will help 1000 families make 5-7 figures in the next 90 days to 12 months!” Wellington spent a decade at TLC, which sells nutrition, wellness, and skincare products, before leaving in August 2025 to join Farmasi, which sells make-up, skincare, and health and wellness products. She allegedly promised new recruits to Farmasi that they can earn big money, saying, “I’m telling you right now, no less than six figures, no less. Repeat that to me. No less than six figures,” and that she will make “60 new millionaires in 2026.” Despite these claims, in both MLMs most participants made little or no money. In TLC’s income disclosures posted to its website, TLC states that 76.8% of active participants (23,124 people) did not earn any compensation in calendar year 2023, and that, at most, 0.4% of all active participants (113 people) earned more than $5,000. Similarly, Farmasi’s income disclosure statement posted to its website shows that, in 2023, fewer than 1% of active participants earned income in the six-figure range the FTC alleges Wellington promised. In a proposed order settling the FTC’s allegations, Wellington will be prohibited from misrepresenting or assisting others in misrepresenting how much money others can earn from various business ventures. This includes prohibiting Wellington from misrepresenting: Expressly or by implication, including through images of homes, vehicles, purchases, or travel, earnings that participants will or are likely to make; The amount of earnings that she or other participants have actually earned; The reason participants do not earn substantial compensation; and Any other fact material to consumers concerning the business venture. In addition, Wellington will be prohibited from making any representation, expressly or by implication, regarding the amount of earnings that a participant can expect to earn unless: it is not misleading, she can substantiate in writing the earnings claim when it is made, and she can provide evidence upon request to any individual who expresses an interest in becoming a participant. Wellington also will be required to notify her downline participants about the order’s prohibition on making deceptive and unsubstantiated earning claims. The Commission vote to authorize the staff to file the complaint and stipulated final order was 2-0. The matter was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the named defendants are violating or are about to violate the law and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. Stipulated final orders have the force of law when approved and signed by the District Court judge.

    FTC Stops Operation that Allegedly Targeted People Seeking Student Loan Debt Relief

    The Federal Trade Commission has obtained a temporary restraining order against an alleged student loan debt relief scheme and its operators over allegations they pretended to be affiliated with the U.S. Department of Education or loan servicers and falsely promised student loan debt relief that did not exist in exchange for illegal upfront fees. The FTC’s complaint against NERD Solutions Inc., ED REF Inc., and their operators Natalie Rodriguez and Pablo Ortiz alleges that, since at least February 2022, the defendants illegally marketed student loan debt relief services by cold calling consumers, thousands of whom are on the National Do Not Call list, and pretending to be affiliated with the U.S. Department of Education or consumers’ actual loan servicers. The complaint notes that the defendants then used false claims of student loan forgiveness to lure consumers into paying illegal upfront monthly fees as high as $1,400. The complaint also alleges the operators of the scheme have collected at least $8.8 million from consumers that are already burdened with massive student loan debt. The defendants are charged with violating the FTC Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Impersonation Rule, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. FTC staff would like to thank the Ohio Office of the Attorney General for their substantial assistance in the investigation. The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 2-0. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California entered a temporary restraining order in the case on April 13, 2026. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the named defendants are violating or are about to violate the law and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest.

    FTC Sues to Stop Amare Global Holdings from Misrepresenting the Health Benefits of Its Dietary Supplements for Children and Adults

    The Federal Trade Commission today sued multilevel marketer (MLM) Amare Global Holdings Inc. and three of its principals for misrepresenting to parents and other consumers that its dietary supplements marketed for children and adults could treat or cure health conditions such as depression, anxiety and ADHD, and for misleading its seller recruits about their potential earnings as “brand partners.” Amare sells dietary supplements for children and adults, including Kids Happy Juice, Kids Mood+ and the Happy Juice Product Pack. In its complaint, the FTC alleges that Amare made false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims, and that Shawn Talbott (the company’s former chief science officer), Patrick Hintze (the company’s founding brand partner) and David Chung (the current CEO and majority shareholder) are responsible for these claims. Talbott and Hintze are subject to previous orders with the FTC that prohibit them from making false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims. “Amare’s claims were not only deceptive but dangerous since it was aware that some brand partners were taking advantage of parents looking for products to help their children, who suffer from serious conditions like depression and anxiety and need proven treatments,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Companies must make truthful marketing claims and abide by FTC orders, and those that fail to do so will be held accountable by the FTC.” The FTC alleges that Amare markets and distributes its dietary supplements through a network of salespeople who participate in Amare’s multilevel marketing scheme as “brand partners” and amplify the false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims. The defendants and their brand partners advertise Amare’s products on social media, including on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook, with claims that their products will provide various health benefits, including treatment of certain diseases and mental conditions, both in children and adults. For example, the Amare defendants claim their products can improve a range of mental conditions in children and adults, including depression, anxiety and ADHD. The company’s brand partners also claim that Amare’s products are “scientifically backed” or clinically proven and will treat or mitigate depression, including by reducing the risk of suicide in children. In its complaint, however, the FTC alleges the defendants’ claims violated the FTC Act by claiming without substantiation that Amare’s products, including Happy Juice, Kids Mood+ and Kids Happy Juice will: Lower, reduce, or regulate cortisol; Raise, increase, or normalize serotonin, dopamine and GABA; and Cure, treat, or mitigate depression, anxiety and ADHD. The FTC also alleges Amare made deceptive earnings claims about the money brand partners can make from selling the company’s products. Amare claims that anyone can join the company and earn specific stated amounts of income, such as $500 a month, or supplement or replace their current income, even if they have neither MLM sales experience nor a large social media following.   The Commission vote authorizing staff to file the complaint was 2-0. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for Central District of California. The Commission staff on this matter are Christopher Erickson, Abbey Wallace and Kimberly Nelson in the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection

    FTC Order to Prohibit Forever Living and its Operators from Deceiving Consumers about Potential Earnings

    Operators of multilevel marketing (MLM) company Forever Living will be permanently prohibited from making deceptive earnings claims to resolve Federal Trade Commission allegations that the company deceived consumers into believing that they could earn profits from the venture when the vast majority of participants made little or no money. In its complaint, the FTC alleged that Forever Living Products International LLC, its CEO Gregg Maughan, and its President Aidan O’Hare, as well as Forever Living.com LLC, used deceptive earnings claims to attract new participants called Forever Business Owners (FBOs), most of whom made no money or even lost money. The company and its operators claimed participants could make money by selling Forever Living’s health and wellness products either in person or online through the company’s website and by recruiting new participants who would do the same. “Today’s complaint alleges that Forever Living deceived prospective workers with false and unsubstantiated earnings claims. Forever Living misled workers with promises of substantial income that, in reality, bore little to no resemblance to what participants actually earned,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Deceptive earnings claims do not just mislead workers—they divert workers away from genuine, income-generating jobs. The FTC will not hesitate to take action against companies that deceive workers with claims of false earnings that they know few, if any, will achieve.” Through in-person meetings and conferences, internet and social media posts and videos, and print materials, Forever Living used images of luxury cars and giant checks, and claims of profits ranging from extra income to replacing a full-time job to tout the potential earnings from selling its products or recruiting new FBOs, the FTC alleged. For example, in an online marketing video O’Hare told viewers, “We will be paying millions in bonuses next year. The only question is, whose name goes on that check?” The FTC alleged that most FBOs did not make any money and many lost money after factoring in expenses such as the cost of shipping products. In fact, according to company data, in each of the last five years at least 77% of FBOs who purchased, sold or recruited during the year did not receive any compensation. Even after two full years as FBOs, more than 89% of new participants had not received enough income from Forever to recoup their initial $300-plus start-up cost. The FTC also alleged that, for years, the company’s public income disclosure statements falsely implied that everyone who had chosen to pursue the MLM income opportunity was making money, and that others who “joined” Forever only wished to purchase products “at a discounted price” and had “elected not to participate in [the] Marketing Plan.” In truth, Forever knew that nearly 90% of FBOs had received no income from Forever, and it had no basis for suggesting they were not trying to make money. The FTC further alleged the company’s training materials encourage FBOs to tout Forever Living as a flexible way to earn extra money in order to recruit new participants. For example, in one training video, FBOs were told to show pictures of cars they may have received from Forever Living’s incentive program or destination events they attended and to tout that “this is a business where you can earn a lot of income.” Forever Living also has misled FBOs with claims that they are likely to earn money based on purchases or sales made by FBOs they recruit, known as their “downline,” when the company’s data shows that less than 7% of FBOs received income from the sales and purchases made by their downline FBOs, according to the complaint. Under the proposed order settling the FTC’s allegations, Forever Living, Maughan and O’Hare: Must have substantiation for any earnings claims and must provide substantiation for any earnings claim they make if a U.S. consumer requests it; Must not misrepresent that participants have made, will or are likely to make or receive earnings (or any particular amount of earnings); Must not misrepresent the reasons participants do not make money in Forever’s MLM, including claims that participants who do not make money aren’t trying to; Must not misrepresent that participants are likely to recruit others into their downline; and Must not misrepresent other facts about the MLM opportunity that would be important to consumers. The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint and stipulated final order was 2-0. The FTC filed the complaint and final order in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the named defendants are violating or are about to violate the law and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. Stipulated final orders have the force of law when approved and signed by the District Court jud

    FEMA Approves More Than $69.3 Million to Help Communities Recover from Recent Disasters and Strengthen Their Resilience in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas

    FEMA Approves More Than $69.3 Million to Help Communities Recover from Recent Disasters and Strengthen Their Resilience in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas DENTON, Texas – FEMA announced the approval of more than $69.3 million in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program for projects across the Region 6 states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.  These two programs empower states, local communities, Tribal Nations and territories to recover to rebuild more resilient, safer communities and protect infrastructure from future events. With this funding, President Donald J. Trump is keeping his promise to reform federal disaster support and ensure that taxpayer money is spent only on projects that deliver safety and security to the American people. Public Assistance Funding The funding approved recently includes more than $67.7 million under FEMA’s Public Assistance program awarded to Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. FEMA disburses this money to states and local communities because they are best positioned to know how these funds will be most effectively spent. The funded projects include repairs to critical infrastructure, restoration of public buildings, road repairs and reimbursement for costs incurred to ensure public health and safety after a disaster. More than $4.6 million to the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management for debris removal operations as a result of the federally declared disaster for wildfires, flooding, mudflows and straight-line winds in 2022 More than $1 million to the Texas Military Department for emergency protective measures as a result of the severe storms, straight-line winds and flooding in 2025 More than $1 million to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development for emergency protective measures as a result of Hurricane Francine in 2024 More than $502,000 to Roger Mills County in Oklahoma to fund costs for firefighting activities as a result of 840 Road Fire in 2025 More than $421,000 to West Memphis School District in Arkansas for building exterior, building interior, contents and other repairs or replacements as a result of severe storms, tornadoes and flooding in 2025. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Funding In addition, FEMA has awarded more than $1.6 million for one project in New Mexico and two in Texas that will prevent, eliminate or reduce future disaster-related damage. This money is being distributed through FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. Through this program, state, local or territory governments and Tribal Nations take proactive mitigation measures such as acquiring hazard-prone homes and businesses, adopting and enforcing building codes and standards, protecting against floods through elevations and drainage improvement projects, building safe rooms and upgrading utilities and infrastructure. Projects reimbursed through Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding:  More than $840,000 to the city of Friendswood, Texas, to fund a comprehensive drainage plan More than $504,000 to Southern Sandoval County Arroyo Flood Control Authority in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, to fund drainage and stormwater management as a result of the South Fork Fire and Salt Fire in 2024 More than $270,000 to the Texas Division of Emergency Management to fund hazardous fuels reduction and vegetation management FEMA coordinates directly with the state on all hazard mitigation projects. This aligns with FEMA’s principles of ensuring that disaster recovery and mitigation is state-led and federally supported. These projects are the latest examples of billions of dollars in disaster recovery provided by FEMA to support state and local communities as they work to rebuild from recent natural disasters. FEMA continues its renewed commitment to help communities recover from disasters like hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes and wildfires while making them more resilient from future disasters.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)?

The EITC is a refundable federal tax credit for low-to-moderate income workers. In 2026 it pays up to $7,430 for families with three or more qualifying children. The IRS estimates 20% of eligible people don't claim it.

How do I claim the federal EV tax credit?

For new EVs purchased in 2024 or later, you can apply the credit at the dealer at point-of-sale — you just give them the credit and they take it off the sticker. Alternatively, you can claim it on your tax return with Form 8936.

What is the Weatherization Assistance Program?

A federal program that pays for energy efficiency upgrades (insulation, sealing, HVAC) for low-income households. It's administered through state and local agencies. Average value per home is $7,500.

Are there state benefits in addition to federal ones?

Yes — most states have their own programs for solar, heating assistance (LIHEAP), property tax relief for seniors, and more. We include many state-level programs in our listings.

Do I need to pay taxes on these benefits?

It varies. Tax credits reduce your tax bill and aren't taxable. Rebates and assistance payments vary — most energy rebates are tax-free. Consult a tax professional for specifics.
