There are six offices within the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The Office of Investigations (OI) is responsible for conducting and coordinating investigative activities related to fraud, waste and abuse in more than 300 HHS programs.
OI investigates Medicare and Medicaid fraud, child support enforcement matters, internal investigations, and grant and contract fraud. Additionally, investigative activities include allegations of fraud, and mismanagement by applicants, grantees, and contractors or by HHS employees in the performance of their official duties. Successful prosecutions result in criminal and administrative remedies to include fines and exclusions.
With investigators working in all 50 States, OI leverages its resources by actively coordinating with the Department of Justice and other law enforcement authorities.
OI is now recruiting for students interested in gaining law enforcement and investigations experience. As an OI intern your primary responsibility will be to assist in supporting OI's mission in the detection and investigation of fraud, waste and abuse in HHS programs and operations.
