Last month, the agency began an amnesty program to remove 29,000 ineligible dependents of government employees to save an estimated $40 million each year, but the results show it could save as much as double that dollar amount and may be able to remove even more beneficiaries who are wrongly enrolled through fraud or error, according to the report.
