COVID-19: More Can Be Done to Mitigate Risk to Unemployment Compensation Under The CARES Act
From the Document: "This report presents the results of the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) audit of the Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) planning for and initial implementation of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs. On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the CARES Act. The expanded UI benefits under the CARES Act required ETA to implement major changes to the existing system including establishing six new programs -- each with the intent of providing expanded UI benefits to Americans who are unable to work as a direct result of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. These expanded UI benefits are estimated to cost $260 billion and are funded by the federal government. The billions of dollars involved have significantly increased the risk for fraud, waste, and abuse in UI programs."

COVID-19: MSHA Faces Multiple Challenges in Responding to the Pandemic
From the Document: "This report presents the results of the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) audit of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Pandemic. This audit was part of phase 1 of the OIG's Pandemic Oversight Response Plan. On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency in response to the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As the pandemic spread throughout the United States, industries not otherwise deemed essential began to temporarily close for business. On March 28, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security labeled mining among 17 critical infrastructure industries that states should consider keeping open to assist in the United States' response to the pandemic. The mining industry is a key resource for our energy and construction industries, so it is important that we keep our miners and MSHA inspectors safe."

COVID-19: WHD Needs to Closely Monitor the Pandemic Impact on Its Operations
From the Document: "This report presents the results of the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) audit of Wage and Hour Division's (WHD) plan for the implementation, enforcement, and oversight of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). It also raises key areas of concern with WHD's implementation and enforcement of the FFCRA. Congress passed the FFCRA on March 18, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, to ensure American workers would not be forced to choose between their paychecks and the public health measures needed to combat the virus."

Rooting Out Fraud in Small-Business Relief Programs, Hearing Before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, First Session, March 25, 2021
This is the March 25, 2021 hearing on "Rooting Out Fraud in Small-Business Relief Programs," held before the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis of the Committee on Oversight and Reform. From the opening statement of James E. Clyburn: "The Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, or EIDL, have been essential lifelines for millions of small businesses harmed by the coronavirus pandemic. More than $1 trillion has been disbursed by these programs, with good reason given the scale of the crisis. [...] Unfortunately, the Trump administration failed to take basic steps to prevent fraud when it implemented these programs last year. Thanks to the work of this committee and our oversight partners, we now know that this failure led to nearly $84 billion in potential fraud, including $79 billion in potentially fraudulent EIDL loans and grants and $4.6 billion in PPP loans. That means billions in taxpayer dollars may not have reached the small businesses that most urgently needed support." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Hannibal "Mike" Ware, Michael E. Horowitz. and William B. Shear.

Remote Inspection of Federal Correctional Complex Tucson
From the Introduction: "In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the U.S. Department of Justice (Department, DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated a series of remote inspections of Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facilities, including BOP-managed institutions, contract institutions, and Residential Reentry Centers. In total, these facilities house approximately 160,000 federal inmates. The OIG inspections sought to determine whether these institutions were complying with guidance related to the pandemic, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, DOJ policy and guidance, and BOP policy. While the OIG was unable to meet with staff or inmates as part of these remote inspections, the OIG issued a survey to over 38,000 BOP employees, as well as staff of contract institutions and Residential Reentry Centers."

EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory Has Taken Steps to Mitigate Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic on Mobile Source Emission Compliance
From the Document: "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Inspector General initiated an evaluation to determine: [1] How the coronavirus pandemic--that is, the SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] virus and resultant COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] disease--has impacted laboratory operations and testing at the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory, or NVFEL, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. [2] Any resulting impacts on the OTAQ's [Office of Transportation and Air Quality] compliance programs, which are designed to minimize the potential for emissions in excess of standards or for noncompliance with regulations in heavy-duty, light-duty, and nonroad vehicles, engines, and equipment. This report addresses these objectives based on our work within the OTAQ and contains no recommendations. This report examines the EPA's activities to oversee mobile source compliance with clean air laws and regulations during the coronavirus pandemic. It highlights NVFEL's efforts to minimize the potential for noncompliance during the pandemic and the importance of returning to full testing capacity to provide the most effective oversight."

Transportation Impact and Implications of COVID-19
From the Document: "Starting with initial lockdowns in March 2020, the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has had a profound impact on the U.S. transportation system, including changes in personal and commercial mobility. These changes in transportation patterns - both during the initial response to COVID-19 and during the subsequent year of efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19 while restoring some aspects of daily life - will likely have significant implications for the nature of the country's future mobility needs and the best ways to meet those needs. While the future transportation patterns and needs of a post-COVID-19 environment will take several years to fully emerge, a review of the initial impact of COVID-19 on the nation's mobility patterns is helpful in gaining insights to the future of U.S. transportation and in determining appropriate future transportation policies."

Office of Refugee Resettlement Ensured That Selected Care Providers Were Prepared to Respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic
From the Document: "On July 1, 2019, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019 (P.L. [Public Law] 116-26) appropriated $2.9 billion for the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program. Title IV provided $5 million for the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), to conduct oversight of the UAC Program. On January 31, 2020, in response to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, the Secretary of HHS declared a public health emergency. Following this declaration, Congress appropriated $12 million to HHS-OIG to conduct oversight of HHS's response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. Previous HHS-OIG work has focused on the Office of Refugee Resettlement's (ORR's) efforts to ensure the health and safety of children in the UAC Program, including when the UAC Program experiences a sudden change in the number or needs of children. This report builds on our oversight of ORR's efforts to protect children and is one of two reports addressing emergency preparedness at ORR facilities. This report specifically addresses communicable disease preparedness. Our objective was to determine whether ORR ensured that selected care provider facilities (facilities) followed ORR requirements in preparing for and responding to communicable diseases, such as COVID-19."

COVID-19: States Cite Vulnerabilities in Detecting Fraud While Complying with the CARES Act UI Program Self-Certification Requirement
From the Document: "This report presents the results of our audit of the self-certification process for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act's (CARES Act) Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. The audit focused on the processes that state workforce agencies use to determine claimant eligibility and their actions to deter and detect fraud relating to self-certifications. The CARES Act's PUA program expands Unemployment Insurance (UI) eligibility to individuals who are not typically eligible to obtain benefits and creates several programs that temporarily expand unemployment benefits for workers affected by the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. The CARES Act provides for up to 39 weeks of PUA benefits and requires individuals to self-certify that they lost employment income due to a COVID-19 related reason."

Organized Crime in the Levant: Conflict, Transactional Relationships and Identity Dynamics
From the Executive Summary: "The Middle East, a region with a long history and culture, has made important contributions to society as the cradle of civilization. Unfortunately, in contemporary times, the region has been marred by instability, power plays and conflict, most recently against the backdrop of the global coronavirus pandemic. This volatility not only undermines the roles of the region's institutions, national economies and the day-to-day lives of its populations, but has also had a significant impact on organized crime and illicit flows. [...] Although organized crime has always been a feature in the region, illicit activities and flows have begun to rise in the context of this recent tumultuous backdrop - a growth facilitated by public disorder, deterioration in the capacity of state law-enforcement agencies and economic hardship. In the Levant, the effects of the Arab Spring a decade ago have triggered a protracted and brutal conflict in Syria, which has not only made violence and instability the norm in the country, but also affected its neighbours' political stability, social cohesion, and licit and illicit economies. Additionally, like much of the world, the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has placed further strain on the Levant's already weakened health, economic and social structures, fuelling uncertainty about citizens' welfare and the region's ability to recover. COVID-19 has also renewed opportunities for illicit activities to thrive and become a permanent and pervasive fixture in the region - even after the conflict ends and a vaccine is found."

Racial Health Disparities Highlight Why We Need to Address Structural Racism, Statement of Kilolo Kijakazi,before the Committee on Health, Council of the District of Columbia, November 5, 2020
This is the November 5, 2020 testimony of Kilolo Kijakazi on "Racial Health Disparities Highlight Why We Need to Address Structural Racism," held before the Committee on Health of the Council of the District of Columbia. From the Document: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] is one of the greatest health crises of our time. In April of this year, data began to reveal an alarming trend: Black families and other families of color face a much higher risk of contracting and dying from the virus. Public officials have focused on the underlying health issues disproportionately affecting these communities, such as diabetes and hypertension, as contributors to the larger impact of COVID-19. But it is important to go further and examine the root cause of these racial disparities in underlying health conditions. Research has shown that differences in access to high-quality jobs and economic stability, quality education, health care services, and quality neighborhoods contribute to racial inequities in health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that the conditions where people live, learn, work, and play affect a wide range of health outcomes. These are the social determinants of health. Structural racism is a root cause of this unequal access to the health- and opportunity-promoting social determinants that drive the racial health inequities laid bare by COVID-19. Structural racism consists of the policies, programs, and institutional practices that facilitate the well-being of white families while creating barriers to the well-being of families of color."

Covid Performance Index: Constructing Pandemic Responses
From the Overview: "Coronavirus continues to spread worldwide with more than 120 million confirmed cases across 190 countries and two million deaths as of mid-March 2021. For nearly a year, governments and societies have been turned inwards to fight an invisible enemy, exposing competing structures, vulnerabilities, and political priorities. The pandemic has also given rise to an 'infodemic' of narratives and counter-narratives about what kinds of states are inherently better suited to combatting the virus. This Interactive explores how more than 100 countries with publicly available and comparable data on the virus have managed the pandemic in the 43 weeks following their hundredth confirmed case of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], using data available to 13 March 2021. Countries have been sorted into broad categories -- by regions, political systems, population size, and economic development -- to determine whether significant variations exist between different types of states in the handling of the pandemic."

Human Costs of Local Fiscal Crises During COVID-19
From the Introduction: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] has dire implications for the vitality of US cities. While cities play a crucial role in the direct provision of essential services that will affect the health and economic security of millions of Americans, they are also ground zero for a deep fiscal crisis. A recent National League of Cities survey of 485 cities reveals that nearly 90 percent of cities will be less able in FY 2021 than in FY 2020 to meet their fiscal needs. In the immediate term, US state and local governments anticipate a budget shortfall of nearly $500 billion through the end of 2022. Revenue shortfalls in some cities could be as high as 20 percent in Fiscal Year 2021. Behind these numbers lay potentially devastating consequences for all citizens and communities alike. Looking back to the Great Recession (GR) of 2008-09, we identify some of the likely local impacts of the economic downturn in the absence of federal intervention. While often ignored in national coverage of the recession, they have left an indelible mark on US cities and, by extension, the overall economy."

COVID-19 Air Traffic Visualization: COVID-19 Cases in China Were Likely 37 Times Higher Than Reported in January 2020
From the Key Finding: "Many people have raised concerns about the accuracy of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] data from China. In this report, we present strong evidence that China's reported COVID-19 caseload was undercounted by a factor of nearly 40. Based on officially reported cases in China in January 2020, the odds of the novel coronavirus appearing by January 22, 2020, in Japan, Thailand, South Korea, the United States, and Taiwan--as it did--would have been minuscule."

COVID-19 Air Traffic Visualization: Air Passenger Transmission Risk to GCC Countries Originated from Outside the Region
From the Key Finding: "Transmission risk resulting from air travel is often global rather than regional in nature. Although regional countries often have more connectivity with one another than with countries outside the region, the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] countries are highly connected globally. As a result, most of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] transmission risk for most GCC countries originated from air travelers outside the region, first from China and then from elsewhere."
