What it does
- Sec. 2: Requires an agency head to take corrective action to temporarily delay, condition, or segment a disbursement request before a payment voucher is certified when a designated official determines there is sufficient reason to find an elevated risk of fraud or an improper payment resulting in financial loss.
- Sec. 2: Requires the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than 2 days after a determination based on a Do Not Pay system output, to notify the certifying official of an order to return a certified payment voucher and to issue a corrective action order to the agency head, except where otherwise required by law.
- Sec. 2: Requires each corrective action to rest on an objective, documented fraud-risk indicator, to apply narrowly to the portion of the payment presenting the elevated risk, and to last no longer than the minimum period necessary to verify the payee's eligibility or the payment's accuracy.
- Sec. 2: Requires the agency to notify the payee not later than 2 days after a determination, provide a process to contest factual inaccuracies, and issue the payment within 30 days, or within 7 days after a contest, if the agency head finds no elevated risk of fraud or improper payment.
- Sec. 2: Provides that no federal officer or employee is personally liable for an action taken in good faith under the new section, and amends sections 3527 and 3528 of title 31 to add good-faith compliance as a basis for relief of accountable officers and certifying officials.
- Sec. 2: Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to report annually, beginning not later than 18 months after enactment, on the number of return and corrective action orders, the percentage of payments later issued, total savings, and any recommendations.
