The Government Contractor Accountability Project is committed to holding government contractors like MAXIMUS accountable for violations of the law that harm employees, taxpayers, or Americans who rely on public programs and services. This includes ensuring that MAXIMUS employees performing essential services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic have safe working conditions, and that the company’s conduct during the crisis does not put the public at risk.

Whistleblowers who bring forward evidence of such conduct play a vital role in protecting the public interest.
