OIG to Continue Working Through Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Sept. 4, 2013)—During the Federal government shutdown, OIG will continue to send notices of updates to its website with information about our Medicare and Medicaid oversight and enforcement activities, which will continue under its mandatory funding. Its fraud and abuse hotline will also continue operations. Most other OIG activities will be suspended during the lapse in appropriations. Upon a return to normal operations, all website content will be made current, and OIG will send notice of these updates.
