* Evaluating all public benefit fraud-related complaints received by OIG for the purpose of making recommendations as to the appropriate actions to be taken by this Office.
* Conducting, in conjunction with OIG's Legal Training Unit, comprehensive training sessions for both new and existing staff on pertinent legal matters, investigative techniques, and emerging programs related to public benefit agencies and related fraud.
* Conducting quarterly case reviews with OIG investigative teams to ensure alignment with investigative objectives and mandates.
* Serve as the primary attorney on all novel, complex and policy-setting OIG welfare fraud investigations.
* Author the Inspector General's Annual OWIG Report, synthesizing key findings and offering strategic recommendations.
