S. Department of Education (Department) Office of Inspector General (OIG), I present this Semiannual Report on the activities and accomplishments of this office from October 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. The audits, investigations, and related work highlighted in this report are products of our mission to identify and stop fraud, waste, and abuse and to promote accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness through our oversight of the Department’s programs and operations. For example, during this reporting period, the OIG:  \n• Issued 4 audit, inspection, and other reports, identifying $3.9 million in questioned and unsupported costs. These reports covered Federal student aid programs, elementary and secondary education programs, pandemic relief aid, and our statutory work involving the Department’s financial statements. We also issued our statutory report on the most significant management challenges facing the Department in fiscal year (FY) 2026, and our FY 2025 Performance Results report that includes statutorily required information on our performance measures, targets, and results.  \n• Closed 14 criminal and civil investigations involving fraud or corruption and secured more than $7 million in restitution, settlements, fines, savings, recoveries, and forfeitures. As a result of this  \nwork, criminal actions were taken against numerous people, including current and former school officialsand service providers who cheated students and taxpayers.  \nWe also issued a Fraud Advisory titled “Potential Fraud Involving FAFSA from Dependent Students with Unusual Parent Data” that identified a potential loss of almost $3.5 million in Federal student aid.  \nNotable matters include:  \n• Our inspection of the Puerto Rico Department of Education’s (Puerto Rico DOE) use of American Rescue Plan (ARP) Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER)  \nfunds to measure student academic progress found that the Puerto Rico DOE did not ensure that the services contracted for and paid with ARP ESSER funds were provided in accordance with the executed contract. It also did not ensure that teachers used the results of the contractor-administered student academic proficiency assessmentsas intended to modify individual students’ instructional plans and help prevent academic failure.  \nAs a result, $3.9 million in ARPESSER program funds were wasted. Those funds could have been used to benefit students and mitigate learning loss caused by the coronavirus pandemic. We made four recommendations, including one to return the $3.9 million or take other remedial action.  \n• Actions were taken against two members of a fraud ring that targeted some $16 million in Federal student aid, one of whom pled guilty. The 10-year scheme involved the submission of fraudulent FAFSAs for more than 1,200 people, involving more than 100 schools in 24 States.  \ni  \n• Study Across the Pond (SATP), a student recruiting firm and its principal agreed to pay $1.3 million to settle allegations that it violated the Federal ban on i","cbCaideCNHV8zF1x","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaideCNHV8zF1x","pdf",2214497,46,"English","# Overview\n# Audit and Inspection Highlights\n## Questioned and Unsupported Costs\n# Investigation Outcomes\n## Criminal and Civil Cases\n# Fraud Advisory\n# Notable Matters and Follow-up Actions\n# Collaboration and Outreach\n## Task Forces and Partnerships\n## Fraud Awareness and Prevention","[{\"question\":\"What is the reporting period covered by Semiannual Report to Congress, No. 92?\",\"answer\":\"It covers activities from October 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of work does the Office of Inspector General highlight in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report highlights audits, inspections, investigations, and related efforts aimed at identifying and stopping fraud, waste, and abuse and promoting accountability.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about the Fraud Advisory involving FAFSA?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a Fraud Advisory titled “Potential Fraud Involving FAFSA from Dependent Students with Unusual Parent Data,” which identified a potential loss of almost $3.5 million in Federal student aid.\"}]","Semiannual Report to Congress, No. 92 - October 1, 2025–March 31, 2026 - Office of Inspector General | PDF",1792061558,116]
