Recommendations

Develop and implement quality assurance measures to ensure recordkeeping of voluntary leave recipient documents complies with federal and agency record retention requirements.

Conduct quality assurance checks to validate voluntary leave recipients’ enrollment and termination dates and to ensure dates are captured correctly in the FPPS.

Agency Response Dated June 26, 2024: The staff have developed quality assurance procedures and implemented quarterly quality assurance checks to ensure dates are captured correctly in FPPS, cross-referencing FPPS dates with the documentation related to each leave recipient’s enrollment. These quality assurance reviews are conducted prior to closing a VLTP case by completing the Quick Reference checklist in the SOP, Leave Transfer Program Initial Reference Checklist, and Leave Share Termination Checklist checklists. This is also noted in the TEAMS channel on the recipient list. The NRC recommends closure of this recommendation.<br />
OIG Analysis: The OIG reviewed procedural changes documented in the agency’s response and determined that these actions meet the intent of this recommendation. This recommendation is now closed.
