About the Office of the Inspector General

Since its creation as the nation's first state-level inspector general's office, the Massachusetts OIG has been at the forefront of promoting effective government and the responsible use of public money and property.

The OIG is an independent agency charged with preventing and detecting fraud, waste and abuse in the use of public funds and public property.

By statute, the Inspector General (IG) has broad authority to oversee the use of state, local and federal funds by state and local governments, as well as by those who receive government funds or use public property.

This includes state agencies, counties, cities, towns, quasi-governmental authorities and districts, as well as individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations that do business with the government.

The Office is led by the Inspector General of the Commonwealth, who is appointed by the Governor, Attorney General and Auditor " on the basis of integrity and demonstrated ability in accounting, auditing, financial analysis, law, management analysis, public administration, investigation or criminal justice administration." M.G.L.

c. 12A, § 2.
The OIG is organized into three bureaus:

Specialty & General Government, Legal & Compliance, and Operations, Training & Publications. Each bureau contains divisions that focus on specific agencies, issues or functions. Together the bureaus work to prevent and detect waste, fraud and abuse of public resources in the Commonwealth. Additional information about the office may be found at Welcome to the Office of the Inspector General |
The Specialty & General Government Bureau
The Specialty & General Government Bureau is managed by the Deputy Inspector General.

This bureau safeguards public assets through oversight of specific agencies (both statutory and OIG-created divisions), special government funding (like pandemic relief), and more broadly, procurement, state and government.

The Bureau of Program Integrity Division

The Office's Bureau of Program Integrity (BPI) monitors and oversees the quality, efficiency and integrity of programs of the Commonwealth's Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS).

BPI works to improve EOHHS agencies and programs through reviews, investigations and other activities.

BPI's oversight activities are varied, and the work involves identifying issues and making recommendations to improve the delivery of those programs and services while protecting public funds.

To carry out its oversight work, BPI reviews and evaluates the policies, procedures, operations, systems and data reports.

In addition, BPI conducts investigations into complaints about the quality of EOHHS services as well as wrongdoing by individuals and vendors.

BPI receives complaints from concerned people and whistleblowers by phone, email and the OIG's fraud hotline.

With each investigation, BPI looks not only at possible wrongdoing but goes further to identify root causes of systemic problems and make recommendations for lasting and meaningful improvements.

The dynamic BPI team includes a division director, deputy director, legal counsel, investigators and analysts.

The BPI team works closely together on each review and investigation and often collaborates with the OIG Data Analytics Division.

The team's significant deliverables include reports, letters, and individual and team presentations to EOHHS, its agencies and the public.

Hybrid Work Schedule:
The Office of the Inspector General offers a hybrid work schedule.

Under this policy, employees may request one of the following weekly hybrid schedules:
1) four days telework and one day onsite; 2) three days telework and two days onsite; 3) two days telework and three days onsite; or 4) one day telework and four days onsite.

The onsite location is at OIG's Boston office and employees may work remotely the remainder of the time at a location approved by their supervisor, so long as they comply with the requirements of the Hybrid Work policy.

Employees will be assigned to their onsite workspace based on their approved schedule. The approved telework location must be located within Massachusetts or within an approximately two-hour driving or train commute distance. OIG does not reimburse employees to travel to the office.

In addition, the successful candidate may be required to work primarily on site in Boston during the initial training and orientation period and/or for certain positions a primarily on-site role may be necessary.

We value our employees and offer benefits that support their lives and well-being, while promoting an environment focused on inclusion, flexibility, professional growth, trust and respect.

The Office therefore is pleased to offer a comprehensive benefits package for its employees. The specific components and eligibility may vary based upon position, hours worked per week and other variables. Consequently, specific benefits for this position may be discussed as part of the interview and offer process.

The overall benefits available include paid vacation; sick and personal leave time; health, dental and vision insurance through the Commonwealth's Group Insurance Commission; and optional pre-tax health savings account plans.

To view the details of the various plans and the cost split between employer and employee, go to the Group Insurance Commission website.

Employees also participate in the Commonwealth's state retirement plan, which may become a defined benefit plan for those who both vest and subsequently retire from state services.

For more information, visit the Massachusetts State Retirement Board website.

In addition, the Office provides employees the opportunity to elect life insurance, long-term disability insurance, deferred compensation savings, tuition remission and pre-tax commuter account plans, along with other programs.
