CMS Pub. 100-08, ch. 4, § 4.15.6.5
Incentive Reward Payment
After the complainant has returned the reward claim form with appropriate attachments,
the UPIC shall determine the amount of the reward and initiate payment. The reward
payment should be disbursed to the complainant from the overpayment money
recovered. Payments made under this system are considered income and subject to
reporting under Internal Revenue Service tax law. No systems changes to implement
these procedures are to be made.
For UPICs, only the MAC shall make IRP payments. The UPIC shall provide the
necessary documentation to the MAC to initiate the IRP payment.
