Improper Payments Transparency Act

Sponsored By: Senator Ricketts, Pete [R-NE]

Introduced

Summary

Requires the President’s budget to include detailed explanations of improper payment amounts, trends, and agency corrective actions. It applies to programs and activities at executive agencies that already must report improper payments.

Show full summary
  • Executive agencies will have to explain why improper payments happened and show trends over the past three years, flagging programs whose improper payment amounts or rates rose, fell, or stayed the same.
  • Agencies must list corrective actions for affected programs, including any incomplete steps described in a corrective action plan under section 3352(d), and outline the steps they will take to address the issues.
  • Integrating this information into the annual budget gives policymakers and the public a consistent, budget-linked view of where improper payments are concentrated and how agencies plan to fix them.
