What is the Dept. Veterans Affairs
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a federal Cabinet-level agency that provides integrated life-long healthcare services and financial benefits to eligible military veterans at the 1700 VA medical centers and outpatient clinics located throughout the United States.
What is the Veterans Affairs OIG
The Department of Veterans Affairs VA Office of the Inspector General (OIG) was created pursuant to the Inspector General Act of 1978 to provide oversight at preventing inefficient or unlawful operations within the VA by performing audits, inspections, investigations, and reviews that improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ programs and services, and prevent and address fraud and other crimes, waste, and abuse, as well as advance efforts to hold responsible individuals accountable.
What Does the Veterans Affairs OIG Investigate
Veterans Affairs OIG conducts criminal and administrative investigations involving allegations of wrongdoing affecting VA programs and operations.
Special Agents, who are Federal law enforcement officers with full investigative and arrest authority analogous to Federal criminal investigators in other agencies, investigate allegations of violations of Federal or other criminal law.
Examples of criminal cases include murder; rape; theft; assault; patient abuse; conflict of interest; embezzlement; fraud in a variety of forms such as contract overcharges, false claims, bid-rigging, product substitution; drug diversion; and illegal drug use.
