Guidelines for Reporting Fraud

The more information you can provide us with, the better chance we have of determining whether any wrongdoing has been committed; without sufficient information, we may not be able to act on your allegation. If possible, please include:

Who was involved? (Names, addresses, phone numbers, if available)
What happened? (Summary of events, additional sources of evidence)
When did it happen? (Date, time, frequency)
Where did it happen? (Location, city, state)
Why was it done? (Estimated loss to the government or gain to violator)
How could it happen? (What scheme was used)
Who else has knowledge of the potential wrongdoing?

Confidentiality and Anonymity

Individuals may always contact OIG anonymously.

We encourage complainants to identify themselves, however, in case additional questions arise as the OIG investigates their report.

If you do choose to identify yourself, the OIG will take every precaution to protect your identity. Except in very rare instances (for example, if a case goes to trial and a complainant testifies) your identity will never be known outside of the OIG.
