Detailed Discussion

The President signed Public Law 112-248, the Improper Payments Elimination Recovery and Improvement Act (IPERIA) of 2012, on January 10, 2013. This law applies to all Federal departments and agencies and aims to further institutionalize efforts to identify, prevent, and recover payment error, waste, fraud, and abuse within Federal spending. FEMA conducts statistical sampling and testing of the PA Grant Program as a part of the Closeout and Post-Award Closeout grant phases to ensure compliance as good stewards of taxpayers’ dollars.
