OPMhas spent over $10 millionto build a data warehouse for health claims data from beneficiaries of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB), data that OPM does not have, according to a recent Politico article. For an agency that reveals the misuse of tax dollars within the federal government, OPM missed their own mark by wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on a warehouse to store data they don't have, said Rep. Hill. I question whether OPM should even have access to FEHB beneficiary data after Chinese hackers breached their security system in 2015 and accessed21.5 million OPM files. I sent a letter to Acting Director of OPM Kathleen McGettigan to raise these concerns with her.
