Full Analysis

The Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (S.375) was introduced by Sen. Carper (D-DE) and became Public Law 116-117 on March 2, 2020. The law reorganizes and revises existing improper payments statutes, requiring federal agencies to publish improper payment information, conduct risk assessments, and implement corrective action plans. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is authorized to establish pilot programs for accountability mechanisms and must update plans for improving use of death data by the Social Security Administration. An interagency working group on payment integrity is also established. No funding is appropriated for private sector contracts; the law imposes internal government reporting requirements. As a result, there are no direct beneficiaries among publicly traded companies. The bill's legislative momentum was high (passed Senate by unanimous consent, then House, and signed by the President), but its market impact is nil.
