The USPS Office of the Inspector General is an independent agency of the Postal Service that investigates fraud and misconduct.
The agency only accepts reports about the following:
- Computer Crimes
- Contract Fraud
- COVID-19 Stimulus Check
- Destruction of mail by Postal employees or contractors
- Election Ballot
- Embezzlements and financial crimes
- Employee Misconduct
- Injury compensation fraud
- Internal affairs and executive investigations
- Kickbacks
- Narcotics
- Theft of items from the mail by Postal employees or contractors
- Whistleblower reprisal
The agency cannot help you with day-to-day mail delivery and customer service issues.
If you are having a problem with the delivery of your mail (late arrival, tracking, attempted delivery, misdelivery, etc.) or an employee/customer service issue, you should contact your local Post Office or USPS Consumer & Industry Contact Office instead of submitting a report to the Inspector General.
Report fraud or misconduct to the USPS Office of the Inspector General.
