Why Verify Transit Use Before Taxi Use?
* The program is intended for employees who commute by public transit. Verifying transit use on the day the taxi service was used ensures employees are adhering to program rules.
* Random sampling is cost-effective and practical for identifying abuse without needing to review all records.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. Looking for individuals using the service more than 10 times:This only identifies overuse but does not confirm whether program rules were followed.
* B. Checking destination addresses for hospitals/clinics:This assumes all emergencies involve medical visits, which is not always the case.
* C. Matching destination addresses to home addresses:This does not confirm transit use and may not identify abuse of the program.
References and Documents:
* GAO Fraud Prevention Guide:Recommends using random sampling to check compliance with program rules.
* Best Practices for Internal Controls in Benefit Programs:Emphasizes verifying eligibility and usage to detect potential abuse.
