Question

Let's say that you overhear a coworker talking about being added to the OIG exclusion list and a recent Notice of Exclusion Letter that they received: Is it okay for this person to continue working?
Yes
No

Answer 1

No, it is not okay for this person to continue working if they have been added to the OIG exclusion list. Being on the Office of Inspector General (OIG) exclusion list means that the individual is prohibited from participating in federal healthcare programs, including working in positions that involve providing services funded by those programs. Continuing to work in such a capacity would be a violation of regulations.
