Audit Reports

Improve the Prevention, Detection, and Recovery of Improper Payments

SSA is responsible for issuing approximately $1 trillion in benefit payments annually; even the slightest error in the overall payment process can result in millions of dollars in improper payments. Improper payments may occur when SSA makes mistakes in computing payments or fails to obtain or act on available information, or when beneficiaries’ fail to report events or provide incorrect reports.

Our Audit reports may contain sensitive and confidential information requiring safeguarding or limited disclosure consistent with law, regulations and Government-wide policies. Previously, we limited the distribution of reports containing this type of information. We now redact that specific information to allow maximum distribution of all reports.
