This order aims to eliminate information silos across federal agencies by removing barriers to data sharing. Agency heads must ensure designated officials have full access to unclassified records to identify waste, fraud, and abuse, with specific focus on unemployment data and state programs receiving federal funding.
Expected impact
- Improved efficiency in detecting government fraud and overpayments through better data access and sharing between agencies
- Potential reduction in bureaucratic duplication and administrative costs
- Enhanced oversight capabilities for federal officials working on fraud detection initiatives
- Streamlined information flow between different government departments
- Greater transparency in federally-funded state programs through comprehensive data access requirements
