Federal Reports

Our review determined that EEOC has complied with the Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA), as amended by the IPERIA.

This is our final audit report conducted in support of OIG’s oversight role for the planning and implementation of the 2020 Census. The audit’s original objective was to assess the risk that the Address Canvassing Test would not accomplish its stated goals. However, after we began audit fieldwork, the Bureau removed the term “goals” from the test plan. As a result, we modified our audit objective to review the Address Canvassing Test’s cost and schedule, as well as in-field and in-office components of the test.

Civil money penalty (CMP) collections received by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (State agency) during our audit period totaled $592,000. However, the State agency reimbursed nursing facilities $114,000, or only about 20 percent of the amount collected, for expenditures incurred during the same time period. Although expenditures incurred during the audit period were generally allowable, we identified claims of $5,000 for nursing facility staff wages and supplies that were already supported by other Federal and State funding sources.
