Federal Reports

An Amtrak communications and signals trainee based in Baltimore, Maryland, resigned from employment on December 3, 2025, prior to his administrative hearing. Our investigation found that the former employee violated company policies by creating and submitting false treatment records to the company to obtain leave under the Family Medical Leave Act. The former employee is not eligible for rehire.

The audit objectives were to determine whether program funds were managed in accordance with the ARC and Federal grant requirements.

This Office of Inspector General (OIG) Healthcare Facility Inspection program report describes the results of a focused evaluation of the care provided at the VA Altoona Healthcare System in Pennsylvania. 

This evaluation focused on five key content domains:
     •    Culture
     •    Environment of care
     •    Patient safety
     •    Primary care
     •    Veteran-centered safety net

The OIG issued two recommendations for VA to correct identified deficiencies in two domains:

     •    Service-level workflows for test result communication
   2.    Primary care
     •    Standardized process to obtain documents from community providers
