In looking through the USCF rules, I suspect nothing will happen. Cheating has to happen in the USCF tournament and they would have to be notified. Does chesscom notify the USCF anytime someone cheats on site - I highly doubt it. Maybe if the cheating was determined to have happened in the actual USCF tourny they might. Given how incredibly rare this would be, I doubt chesscom has anything in place to notify USCF.
I also found this which suggests to me - YOU can submit the complaint yourself:
Reporting Cheating:
- If you suspect cheating, you must submit a written complaint to the USCF main office.
- Include all relevant information, including your name, the names of the suspected cheaters, the date and location of the event, and any specific instances of cheating that you witnessed.
- Provide detailed supporting evidence, such as photos, videos, or game records, to back up your claims.
- There is an administrative fee associated with filing a complaint.
If a person gets their chess.com account closed for fair play, are their tournament results in past USCF tournaments on chess.com revised within the USCF system? I had my suspicions about a past player in a couple of U1450 blitz tournaments a couple of weeks back. I see now the player's account was closed.
