The United States Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010 (H.R. 3393) was signed by President Barack Obama into law on July 22, 2010.[1] The law requires federal agencies to periodically review and report on major programs that are susceptible to improper payments.[1]
An improper payment is a government payment that "should not have been made or that was made in an incorrect amount under statutory, contractual, administrative, or other legally applicable requirements".[2]
Earlier legislation regarding improper payments included the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002.[3]
