OMB has issued a memo implementing provisions of the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012 with an emphasis on protecting privacy while curbing improper payments and increasing information sharing.
IPERA was signed into law earlier this year, enacting an ongoing no-pay initiative.
The memo, M-13-20, provides guidance to agencies on reimbursement of costs between agencies, retention and timely destruction of records, and prohibiting the duplication and re-disclosure of records. It also provides guidance to help improve the effectiveness and responsiveness of agencies’ data integrity boards.
