An ongoing congressional investigation reveals $1.1 million in bonuses were
awarded to 84 employees of the General Services Administration since 2008 —
while the inspector general was probing these individuals for wrongdoing or
misconduct.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who is heading the investigation, said the overall
number of employees receiving bonuses while under investigation is likely to be
"far higher" since not all information for current investigations is now
available, according to a release from the senator.
Of the 84 GSA employees, each received an average of eight bonuses, totaling
$13,000. (See breakdown of bonus awards.)
One program officer received more than $38,000 in bonuses since 2008, despite
being reassigned for abuse of authority. Another employee, a GS-14 level
supervisor, received more than $20,000 in bonuses, even after being reprimanded
for interfering with an IG investigation, according to the release.
