HHS OIG Grant Self Disclosure Program
Mandatory Disclosures
HHS grant recipients or subrecipients must disclose evidence of potential violations of Federal criminal law involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity violations, potentially affecting the Federal award. Federal regulation, 45 C.F.R. § 75.113, mandates disclosures of criminal offenses that non-Federal entities must make with respect to HHS grants. Please note that the Office of Inspector General does not track letters certifying that no violations of federal criminal law have occurred, and it is not necessary for grant applicants or recipients to submit such certifications to OIG.
Voluntary Disclosures
Recipients of HHS awards may voluntarily disclose conduct liability under the Civil Monetary Penalty Law (CMPL), 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7a, or any other conduct—such as conduct that may violate civil or administrative laws—that does not clearly fall within the scope of offenses described at 45 C.F.R. § 75.113.
