The Department of Homeland Security complied with the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) during fiscal year 2024. According to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-123, an agency must meet all 10 PIIA requirements to comply, which DHS did.
DHS also met OMB’s requirement to designate programs with improper payment estimates greater than or equal to $100 million, in annual monetary loss, as high priority and to provide quarterly reporting submissions to the PaymentAccuracy.gov website. Specifically, DHS identified the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Public Assistance – Validate As You Go (VAYGo) program as a high-priority program and provided the required initial quarterly reporting submission to OMB.
Based on our review, DHS’ overall efforts to prevent and reduce improper and unknown payments appear adequate. Our review determined DHS implemented internal controls that were operating as intended to provide oversight of its components’ completion of program identification templates, risk assessments, and improper payment testing.
