AmeriCorps to Consider Implementing Future IT System Controls Related to Members Enrolled in Multiple, Concurrent Programs

Following the receipt of a complaint that an AmeriCorps member was simultaneously enrolled in two AmeriCorps programs at different grantees without the grantees’ knowledge, AmeriCorps Office of Inspector General (AmeriCorps OIG) initiated a proactive review of members with multiple service terms during the same timeframe.

An initial query of data covering 2016 to 2023 held in AmeriCorps systems identified 14 members with overlapping service terms. A more detailed review of those 14 members found three of the members had service terms who appeared to be simultaneously enrolled in two full-time programs for some period of time.
