When Postal Service employees get hurt on the job or develop a work-related illness, workers’ compensation benefits are there to help — covering medical care and lost wages while they recover. At the OIG, our Office of Investigations works to reduce these costs by fighting fraud in the program.
One of our responsibilities as an Office of Inspector General is to keep Congress informed about issues at the Postal Service. We do this in our Semiannual Reports to Congress and by sharing our audit reports and other work. Sometimes, the OIG is also asked to take part in a hearing.
