What to Report to the OIG Hotline

Allegations of wrongdoing made against:

A Federal Inspector General;
A designated senior staff member of a Federal OIG;
The Special Counsel, U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC); and
The Principal Deputy Special Counsel, OSC.

These individuals are collectively referred to as “Covered Persons”. The IC may act on a complaint against an individual who is no longer a Covered Person if the alleged wrongdoing occurred while the individual was a Covered Person.

Note: If you are uncertain whether the senior OIG staff member against whom you wish to submit an allegation has been designated as a Covered Person, you may nonetheless submit the complaint to the IC. The IC routinely screens all complaints to confirm that the subject of the allegations is within the IC’s purview.

What Not to Report to the OIG Hotline

If your allegation does not involve misconduct by a Covered Person, the IC cannot take action on it; please consider submitting your allegation to the appropriate agency of jurisdiction.
