Eight men and one woman were detained by officers during raids at about 07:00 BST at 11 addresses, mainly in west London, the Met Police said.
In a briefing, the force said two of the people arrested are linked but that all of the alleged offences are separate.
The value of the alleged frauds range from £25,000 to £100,000.
"All those arrests are in connection with what we believe to be fraudulent claims for housing and/or support of one kind or another, arising out of false claims from people that they were associated with Grenfell Tower," Det Supt Matt Bonner said.
