Congress 115th
Date Requested July 19, 2017
Requested By House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Date Sent Aug. 18, 2017
Description:

H.R. 378 would amend federal law to allow federal agencies to pay cash awards to employees who report wasteful spending. The bill also would increase the maximum amount payable from $10,000 to $20,000. Under current law, only Inspectors General (IG) can pay bonuses to federal employees who identify waste, fraud, or mismanagement of funds. Agencies would publically report on the funds and the Government Accountability Office would report on cost savings and the award program every three years.
