Hackensack NJ, Even years after the height of the pandemic, federal oversight committees are still tracking down every dollar spent during the health emergency.
Case in point: Bergen County, New Jersey, has officially returned $57,000 in federal COVID-19 relief funding to Washington. The repayment comes after a sharp desk review by the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Inspector General (OIG) revealed that local officials could not properly document a series of payroll bonuses distributed during the crisis.
