Office of the Inspector General Audit Recommendations that Had Not Been Implemented as of March 22, 2024
We have compiled audit recommendations, made by the Office of the Inspector General’s Office of Audit (OA), that had not been implemented by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as of March 22, 2024. The status of each recommendation is subject to change due to SSA’s ongoing efforts to implement them and OA’s follow-up on SSA’s efforts. Specifically, a recommendation identified as not having been closed as of March 22, 2024 may now be closed as a result of actions taken after that date.
Congress enacted the Payment Integrity Information Act (PIIA) in 2019 to help agencies identify and reduce improper payments. For this mandated audit, we evaluated NASA’s compliance with PIIA requirements in fiscal year 2023.
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.
