DHS' Fiscal Year 2023 Compliance with the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019

Although the Department of Homeland Security has made improvements to reduce improper payments (IPs) and unknown payments (UPs), DHS did not comply with the Payment Integrity Information Act (PIIA) of 2019 for fiscal year 2023. According to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-123, an agency must meet all 10 PIIA requirements to be compliant. DHS complied with 9 of the 10 requirements, but it did not comply with the requirement to publish IP and UP estimates for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance Validate As You Go (VAYGo) program for FY 2023.
