• The HHS Office of Inspector General posted Recovery Act materials to its Web site on April 29. This is the same information that's on www.recovery.gov, but it's in a slightly different form, the OIG said. To see the first OIG Monthly Recovery Update Report, visit www.oig.hhs.gov/recovery/monthly_report.asp. This report accounts for Recovery Act funding, and both completed and planned actions. The OIG will update this site on a regular basis. Also posted in the Recovery Section of the OIG's Web site is information on the special Whistleblower Protections available under the Recovery Act: www.oig.hhs.gov/recovery/whistleblower.asp.
