American Rescue Plan Act: Assessment of the Expanded Child and Dependent Care and Earned Income Tax Credits
An Amtrak Coach Cleaner based in Beech Grove, Indiana, was terminated from employment on June 15, 2023, following her administrative hearing. Our investigation found that the employee violated company policies by failing to report her arrests and convictions for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. We also found that the employee misused leave granted under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) by claiming FMLA leave for the time she was incarcerated.
We are issuing this report to inform the Agency of our concerns relating to the lack of conflict-of-interest provisions and clauses in the SBIR procurement documents and to provide considerations for the EPA to strengthen its SBIR Program against fraud, waste, and abuse.
