The House has passed and sent to the White House S-614, the Improper Payments Coordination Act, designed to reduce improper payments by extending access to the Do Not Pay initiative to the judicial and legislative branches of the federal government, as well as the state government agencies that manage federal funds.
The legislation also requires the State and Defense to report death data to other agencies to prevent improper payments to deceased individuals. Additionally, the bill requires OMB to issue guidance clarifying rules and procedures for agencies to share information.
It also would require OMB to issue guidance to require additional databases be included in Do Not Pay and to require sharing of notices of overseas deaths of U.S. citizens. Also, the Treasury Department would be tasked with expanding its anti-waste and fraud analytics
