Federal Improper Payments Coordination Act of 2015

Bill 114 s 614, also known as the Federal Improper Payments Coordination Act of 2015, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of reducing improper payments made by federal agencies. Improper payments refer to payments that should not have been made or were made in the incorrect amount, such as overpayments or underpayments.

The bill requires federal agencies to identify programs and activities that are susceptible to improper payments and develop plans to prevent and reduce these payments. It also mandates the establishment of a government-wide Do Not Pay Initiative to prevent improper payments before they are made.

Additionally, the bill requires federal agencies to report on their efforts to reduce improper payments and sets up a process for agencies to recover improper payments that have already been made. It also requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report on the effectiveness of agencies' efforts to reduce improper payments. Overall, the Federal Improper Payments Coordination Act of 2015 aims to increase accountability and transparency in federal spending by reducing the amount of improper payments made by federal agencies.
