1 S. 2948, Payment Integrity Information Act of 2018 1 (December 21, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/cbopigi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE December 21, 2018 S. 2948 Payment Integrity Information Act of 2018 As reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on December 19, 2018 SUMMARY S. 2948 would direct federal agencies to undertake numerous activities designed to reduce improper payments. Enacting S. 2948 could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO cannot estimate the magnitude of those effects. S. 2948 also could affect spending subject to appropriation, but CBO cannot determine the potential change in discretionary spending. Although CBO cannot determine the effects of S. 2948, the bill probably would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029. S. 2948 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). BACKGROUND AND CURRENT LAW Within government programs, an improper payment is generally defined as any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an incorrect amount under statutory, contractual, administrative, or other legally applicable requirements. In addition, improper payments include payments with insufficient documentation to determine if the payment was proper.1 Over the past two decades, numerous laws have been enacted to curtail improper payments, including the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012, and the Fraud Reduction and Data Analytics Act of 2015. Improper payments can include fraud as well as payments that arise from 1. Sec. 2(f)(2) of the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010, Public Law 111-204.
