The Office of Inspector General strives to work to make government better and to hold those we review and oversee accountable when they break the rules.

What to Expect After Reporting Suspected Program Fraud or Program Abuse
All complaints and referrals are forwarded to the appropriate division for review. You should receive confirmation of receipt of your complaint within two business days unless you choose to remain anonymous. Although every complaint and referral is reviewed, not all complaints or referrals result in an investigation or action.
Depending on the nature of your complaint or referral, you may be contacted for more information or follow-up unless you choose to remain anonymous.
The Office of Inspector General and its divisions does not discuss or release information regarding ongoing investigations.
The dispositions of some investigations may be available on this website on each division’s page or may be obtained by submitting a Freedom of Information Act Request, but not all dispositions are publicly releasable.
