What is the Deficit Reduction Act Form?
The Deficit Reduction Act is federal legislation which went into effect January 1, 2007. The Act states that any entity (private, governmental, non – profit, business, provider etc) performing or supplying any service AND/OR goods under Title XIX totaling $5.0 million or more in the most recent federal fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) must complete this form including an Affidavit where the entity attests that it has read and understands the Deficit Reduction Act. The Deficit Reduction Act requires an employer who meets the $5.0 million threshold to establish written policies for all employees or any agent of the entity describing the False Claims Act detailing policies and procedures for detecting and preventing waste, fraud and abuse.
