OIG posts September LEIE data October 9
Oct 11, 2026 edition · GC-2026-0312 · Published 2026-10-11 · Version 3 · Announced
OIG's October 9 LEIE page posts the September database, exclusion/reinstatement supplements, and profile corrections. The page distinguishes a complete replacement database from single-month increments and warns that profile corrections cannot verify an exclusion.
What happened
The download page shows an October 9 update for September 2026 files. OIG explains that filenames describe prior-month actions. The complete database contains exclusions in effect and removes reinstated persons; monthly supplements contain only that month's changes.
Replacement and supplementation are alternative maintenance strategies. OIG directs complete-database users not to apply supplements as well. Profile corrections record changes such as addresses, rather than verification. Because downloadable files omit Social Security numbers, OIG directs specific-person/entity verification to its online search.

Why it matters
OIG recommends the complete replacement database for accuracy. Organizations using it should not also apply monthly supplements. Incremental files are not the full database, and profile corrections do not themselves verify an exclusion. No case count or entity action is inferred here.
Recommended action
Exclusion-screening owners should update through one documented full-replacement or incremental workflow, reconcile reinstatements and corrections, and resolve potential matches using the official online verification process. Record the dataset period separately from its posting date.
