To assist the Congress in its oversight capacity, we have developed an oversight framework that is intended to allow the Congress to systematically address the goals, scope and approaches for delivering these on-going programs. Specifically, the options in this report fall under one of the following three areas that constitute one potential framework for congressional oversight: Reassess objectives: Options for reconsidering whether to terminate or revise services and programs because goals have been achieved, have been persistently not met, or are no longer relevant due to changing conditions. Redefine beneficiaries: Options for revising formulas or eligibility rules or improved targeting of benefits or fees. Improve efficiency: Options to address program execution problems through consolidation, reorganization, improving collections methods, or attacking high-risk activities.
