BEOG funding criticized in federal study
A federal BEOG study faults the Basic Economic Opportunity Grant program for widespread payment errors in the 1978-79 year. It finds 55 percent of disbursements were in error and 22.5 percent unrecoverable, with 36 percent overpayments and 19 percent underpayments. Errors stem from carelessness and complex rules, not fraud, and $116 million of $1.1 billion awarded were wasted.
