§3358 Interagency Working Group for Governmentwide Payment Integrity Improvement

Summary

Create an interagency working group within 90 days to make federal payments more accurate and to stop wrong payments, including those from fraud. The group must work on state-run program rules and data sharing, update detection and prevention practices, share and build data-analysis tools, and find any other useful actions to protect payments. The group must include the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, one person from each agency named in section 901(b)(1) and (2), and other agency officials the OMB Director picks (for example, a chief information, procurement, risk, or operations officer). It may talk with Inspectors General and outside experts. It must meet at least four times a year and, within 240 days, send Congress a report with concrete plans to cut wrong payments and a plan for states and federal agencies to check for people enrolled in the same benefit in more than one state, including use of the Do Not Pay Business Center and Treasury data tools.
