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.
