Calculation of an Improper Payments Rate
8. Does your State calculate an improper payments (including fraudulent payments) rate, that is, a measure of the percentage of total payments that are determined to be improper?
Exhibit 8 shows that only three State agencies report calculating an improper payment rate (CT, KY, MA). The majority State agencies (21) do not calculate an improper payment rate (AL, AZ, CA(DE), CA(DSS), DC, GA, KS, MD, MS, MO, MT, NE, NH, NC, OH, OK, PR, UT, WA, WV, WI). One State (MN) reports this information is not available.
