HHS OIG Hotline

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General funds operation of a public hotline and call center for citizens to report alleged fraud, waste, and abuse of federal resources under Assistance Listing 93.A92, with the most recent award activity recorded in the portfolio.

The program establishes a collaborative partnership in which the recipient operates a multi-channel call center staffed with trained specialists to intake allegations of fraud and misuse of federal funds. HHS OIG and the recipient jointly develop investigative protocols and perform periodic reviews to identify systemic vulnerabilities in federal programs. The program is structured as a mechanism for public oversight and transparency in the use of taxpayer dollars rather than as a grant supporting research, service delivery, or infrastructure development.

No recent grant award portfolio data, award magnitudes, funding concentration, or open grant opportunities are documented in the source. The source does not specify whether awards are disbursed annually, the typical size of individual awards, the assistance-type mix, or whether grant solicitations are currently open. Award procedures and records retention requirements are identified in individual NOFOs and award terms but are not detailed in this program description.

Any organization considering pursuit of this program should contact HHS OIG directly to confirm current funding status, obtain copies of recent NOFOs if opportunities are open, and clarify the current contracting or partnership model under which the hotline operation is supported. The source does not establish whether this program operates as an open competitive grant solicitation or as a directed or sole-source award to an existing recipient.
