§ 331.17 - How will the Department verify and audit claims under this part?  


Latest version.
  • Departmental staff will initially review each claim in detail, and contact you should questions arise. If they are unable to satisfactorily resolve the matter following consultation with you, your claim will be forwarded to the Office of the Inspector General, or another independent auditor, for verification and, if necessary, an audit. In addition, the Department may consult with, or make referrals to, other government agencies, including the Department of Justice. If an audit is necessary, a ceiling amount reached, and the audit does not support the claimed amount, your reimbursement may be reduced to cover one-third the cost of the audit.
