Notes to SEFA

The schedule of expenditures and federal and state awards (the “Schedule”) presents the activities of all federal and state financial award programs of Durham County, North Carolina (the “County”) for the year ended June 30, 2025. All federal and state awards received directly from federal and state agencies as well as federal and state financial awards passed through other government agencies are included in the Schedule. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements (“Uniform Guidance”) and the State Single Audit Implementation Act. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the County.
The following federal programs are clustered by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services and are treated separately for state audit requirement purposes: Special Children Adoption Fund – State Cluster 93.556; 93.558; 93.603; and 93.645 Refugee and Entrant Assistance – State Cluster 93.566 and 93.576 Aging – State Cluster 93.045 Foster Care, Adoption, and Guardianship Assistance Program – State Cluster 93.658 and 93.659 Work First Administration – State Cluster 93.558 Title IV D-Child Support Enforcement – State Cluster 93.563 Low-Income Energy Administration – State Cluster 93.568 Independent Living (LINK) – State Cluster 93.674
The North Carolina Department of Justice does not consider Opioid Settlement Funds either Federal or State financial assistance since they are from a settlement with major drug companies. Since these funds are subject to the State Single Audit Implementation Act, they are reported as Other Financial Assistance on the SEFSA and considered State awards for State single audit requirements.

Finding Details

2025-004 Material Weakness – Eligibility Second Party Reviews Information on the Federal Program: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Assistance Listing Number 93.558, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, passed through the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), Division of Social Service. Criteria: Per the DSS Administrative Letter for Economic and Family Service 07-2018, Work First Program Second Party Review Checklists must be completed at application and recertification for no less than 25% of the monthly ongoing Work First cases. The protocol must outline the persons responsible for completing the reviews and the process for follow-up as required. If second party reviews identify a trend in deficiencies; the County process for providing necessary training must also be outlined. Condition: The County was not abiding by the State policy and procedures outlined above. Reviews were not taking place at the frequency level based on number of cases. The County only reviewed 5% of the required cases during the 2025 fiscal year. Cause: The County completed second party reviews for 93 out of 1,875 cases during fiscal year 2025. The County did not meet the proper policy procedures of examining no less than 25% of cases. Effect: Lack of appropriate levels of review occurring during the year increases the risk that the County could provide benefits to individuals that are not eligible to receive those benefits. Recommendation: We recommend that the County abide by the State policies in terms of the frequency and amount of case reviews each month. We also recommend that policies and procedures are documented surrounding second party reviews and be reinforced to ensure that reviews are being completed and followed up as necessary. Auditee’s Response: The County agrees with this finding.
