The President’s fiscal year (FY) 2025 Budget provides funding of $293,950,000 to the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) for ongoing operational expenses.
This document highlights our key initiatives, presenting perspective and context for our budget needs and areas of focus for FY 2025. It also highlights our FY 2023 accomplishments and activities.
The Postal Service is part of the nation’s critical infrastructure, and our office continually aligns our mission resources to concentrate on the agency’s highest-risk areas. We have historically focused on timely mail delivery, postal costs, and operational efficiencies.
We expect this work to increase as the agency continues to implement large, nationwide changes and execute key aspects of the 2022 Postal Service Reform Act. The OIG’s goal is to provide transparency into the impacts of these changes, making recommendations to enhance the efficiency of postal operations and to ensure the integrity of election mail in the coming national election.
We will also continue our efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and the distribution of illegal narcotics through the mail. The Postal Service Reform Act also expanded our oversight mission to include the Postal Service’s regulator, the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC).
