handle is hein.gao/gaobabecg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Action Needed To Reduce, Account For, And Collect Overpayments To Federal Retirees The Office of Personnel Management re- ported overpayments of about $214 million to retired Federal civilian employees and their survivors, from the Civil Service Retire- ment and Disability Fund, during the 5 years ending September 30, 1982. Although OPM has recovered a substantial portion of these overpayments, it might have avoided some of the overpayments if better controls had been used to prevent dual payments and promptly identify deceased beneficiaries. GAO found that (1) little emphasis was placed on eliminating benefit payments to individuals no longer eligible, such as de- ceased beneficiaries; (2) overpayments were not accurately recorded and reported, once identified; and (3) prompt, aggressive action was not taken to recover overpayments. GAO recommends establishment of ade- quate internal controls to minimize, account for, and collect such overpayments from the Fund. VD S 7 214 GAO/AFMD-83-19 JUNE 28, 1983 oaeDo1)- 4 . I 1-j- I I '%
