Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over SNAP EBT card security needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management’s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: The Department agrees with this finding. During the audit period, the process for handling returned EBT cards was assigned to one (1) individual. In response to a prior year finding, the Department implemented corrective actions effective July 1, 2024. The current process has the duties separated into 3 roles. First, an Accounting Associate I receives the returned EBT cards at OFI's Central Office. The Accounting Associate scans the card and envelope to an Office Associate II in a separate office. The Office Associate II enters the cards into a spreadsheet (returned card log) and researches the cases to determine what to do with the card. The Office Associate records the necessary information into the returned card log and makes an ACES case note to reflect any action taken. Then a response is sent back to the Accounting Associate to advise which EBT cards should be shredded and which cards should be resent. Finally, the EBT Manager conducts a periodic review of the returned card log to ensure the cards are being handled appropriately. The Department will also be hiring a new Office Associate II (Supervisor) to assist in this process. Because these procedures were implemented effective 7/1/2024, they were not captured during this single audit. No corrective action is required due to our current procedures meeting state and Federal card security requirements.
