Elimination of Improper Payments
Generally, an improper payment is any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an incorrect amount under statutory, contractual, and administrative or other legally applicable requirement. OMB Circular A-123, Appendix C, defines significant improper payments as annual improper payments in a program that exceed both 2.5 percent of program annual payments and $10 million. The Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA) of 2002 (Public Law No. 107-300), requires agencies to annually review their programs and activities to identify those susceptible to significant improper payments.
