Program Will Measure Accuracy of E-rate Payments

Federal law requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to identify and estimate improper payments in programs administered by federal agencies, including universal service programs such as E-rate. Improper payments occur when federal funds go to the wrong recipient, the recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds, documentation is not available to support a payment, or the recipient uses the funds in an improper manner. For the past few years, the FCC's Office of Inspector General has supervised audits to comply with the requirements of the law, known as the Improper Payments and Information Act (IPIA).
