Subject: Requirement to Provide Training on the Federal and State False Claims Acts
To comply with The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA), SDSURF is mandated to provide information to all employees on the existence of the Federal and State False Claims Acts and their provisions. This information was initially provided in 2007 and must be provided thereafter, annually to all employees.
A website has been created that contains a copy of the 15 minute PowerPoint presentation containing the required information, copies of the applicable Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) fraud prevention and detection policies and a copy of the HHSA Code of Conduct and Statement of Incompatible Activities. The website may be accessed by going to: www.cosdcompliance.org and selecting “False Claims Acts Information for Contractors” from the drop down menu. If you do not have Internet access and would like to request a hard copy of the PowerPoint presentation, please contact SDSURF Human Resources & Risk Management at (619) 594-4139.
If you have questions about the training or need further information about the False Claims Acts, contact the Compliance Office at (619) 515-4244 or by email at http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/hhsa/email.html?sendto=SD_CO_RQCC.
