In FY 2021, the IRS US Coronavirus Payments was determined to be susceptible to significant improper payments through the risk assessment process. However, Treasury notified OMB in August 2022 that we will not be reporting improper payment estimates for these programs due to the limitations inherent in quantifying the improper payment amount and rate of short-term COVID-19 programs.

Additional information

In FY 21, the Internal Revenue Service- US Coronavirus Payments was determined to be susceptible to significant improper payments. In August 2022 Treasury determined that due to the short-term nature of these programs, quantifying the amount and rate of improper payments, assessing the root cause, and developing corrective action plans to reduce payment errors in the future would provide minimal value and be an ineffective use of resources. Therefore, for its COVID-19 pandemic relief programs Treasury decided it would not report an improper payment estimate either in its Agency Financial Report or on paymentaccuracy.gov. The COVID-19 pandemic relief programs will remain on the three-year risk assessment rotation.
