Summary

Government Waste Corrections Act of 1999 - Requires each Federal executive agency to: (1) conduct recovery audits with respect to each payment activity of the agency that expends $10 million or more annually (permits an agency to conduct such audits for any other payment activity); (2) give priority to the most recent payments; and (3) implement such recovery audit requirement in a manner ensuring the greatest financial benefit to the Government. Permits agencies to conduct such audits directly, by procuring performance of such audits by contract, or by any combination thereof. Sets forth agency authorities with respect to recovery audits procured by contract. Provides for agencies to include in such contracts a requirement that the contractor: (1) provide reports on conditions giving rise to overpayments and recommendations on how to mitigate such conditions; and (2) notify the agency of any overpayments. Allows the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to exempt any agency payment activity if conducting recovery audits for that activity would not be practical or cost-effective. Requires the Director to designate no fewer than five recovery audit model programs for the purpose of stimulating and enhancing recovery audits in the Federal Government by developing best practices and otherwise identifying ways to make recovery audits more effective, ensuring that such programs complement, and in no way preempt or delay, other Federal recovery audit activities. Requires such programs to: (1) reflect a representative range of executive agencies, program activities, and payment practices; and (2) continue for at least one year. Sets forth provisions for the disposition of amounts collected by agencies through recovery audits. Directs each agency to conduct a management improvement program consistent with rules prescribed by the Director. Requires the agency, as the first priority of the program, to address problems that contribute directly to agency overpayments. Permits the agency to seek to reduce errors and waste in other executive programs and operations by improving its staff capacity, information technology, and financial management. Permits an agency to pay cash awards to the agency's career employees who have made extraordinary contributions to improving the agency's operations in a way that reduces waste and error. Requires the Director to coordinate and oversee the implementation of this Act, issue rules, provide support to agencies in implementing this Act, and submit three annual reports on this Act's implementation to the President, the House Committee on Government Reform, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Requires the Comptroller General, after the issuance of each such report, to report on this Act's implementation to such Government officials.
