How- e er, the units have not become self-supporting a anticipated. The 27 fraud control units operating as of D cember 31, 1979, had identified potentially n coverable amounts equal to only about one- h ilf their operating costs. GAO believes the g)al of the units becoming self-supporting ater September 30, 1980, will be extremely difficult to achieve. According to unit offi- clals, if some Federal funding is not continued, many units likely will cease to exist or will Qperate less effectively. The Congress should fund the units beyond September 1980. However, to receive such funding, units should have to demonstrate ef- fective performance based on reasonable stand- ards established by the Department of Health and Human Services.
