Offices of the Inspector General Investigative Complaints: Beginning 2022

The Office of the New York State Inspector General (NYSIG), as established by Executive Law Article 4-A, is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that New York State government, its employees, and those who work with the State meet the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and efficiency. The Office of the New York State Welfare Inspector General (OWIG), as established by section 74 of the Executive Law, is responsible for maintaining the integrity of New York State’s public assistance programs. The Office of the New York State Workers’ Compensation Fraud Inspector General (WCFIG), as established by section 136 of the Workers’ Compensation Law, is responsible for investigating violations of the laws and regulations pertaining to the operation of the workers’ compensation system. Collectively, the three offices are known as the Offices of the Inspector General (OIG).

The OIG Case Management Unit (CMU) is principally responsible for receiving and processing allegations made to OIG. Each complaint is logged in to a centralized database and then addressed and/or investigated by investigative and legal staff. All case-related information is treated as confidential information.

Offices of the Inspector General (OIG) Investigative Complaints data includes the complaints received by CMU separated by OIG Office, Intake Number, Intake Source, Agency, and Case Type. A measurement period encompasses a one-month period.
