Where To Report Waste Fraud, Abuse, Or Retaliation
Recommendation Details
Text of Recommendation
Assess the cost-effectiveness of requiring that all SSA staff obtain verification of Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) payments from the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Agency Query System (AQS) Website before processing DI claims likely to involve FECA payments. The Agency should specifically include in its analysis the cost of providing its field office staff access to AQS. We continue to believe that a computer matching agreement with DOL would be more cost effective than querying claims on a case-by-case basis. However, until SSA obtains a matching agreement with DOL, this is an alternative approach for obtaining FECA data for each claim.
