What is the mission of the Office of the Inspector General Hotline?

Answer:

The Inspector General Hotline is designed to receive and process complaints of possible fraud, waste and abuse in programs administered by the department.

All HHS and contractor employees have a responsibility to assist in combating fraud, waste and abuse in all departmental programs. Matters involving fraud, waste and mismanagement in any departmental program(s) should be reported to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The Hotline offers a confidential means for reporting vital information.
