Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

In response to a congressional request, GAO investigated allegations of possible misuse of federal funds by certain federal grantees in the Philadelphia area. In each case, GAO identified and contacted the appropriate granting agency or department and requested it to investigate the allegations and to provide GAO with an administrative report. After reviewing the agencies administrative reports, GAO concluded that there did not appear to be any violations of applicable laws or regulations that would warrant further investigation.
