As a result of this crisis, the incident command (IC) structure established a labor pool that deployed volunteers into unfilled shifts at the hospital for a myriad of critical positions. These shifts were tracked and coordinated via the incident command structure on separate worksheets and as a result worked shifts were not coded directly on employee timecards as had been done previously over the course of the pandemic. All other payroll submissions of the county will refer to timecard-coded worked hours and expenses, which allow the user to generate standard payroll cost reports directly out of source financial systems rather than manually matching multiple data sources to calculate relevant costs

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2024 State Agency: Department of Social Services (DSS) – Division of Finance and Administrative Services (DFAS) Audit Finding Number: 2024-006 - Department of Social Services Cost Allocation Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Sheena Frazer Anticipated completion date for corrective action: N/A Recommendation: The DSS through the DFAS continue to strengthen internal controls and procedures over the PACAP and the AlloCAP system to ensure costs are properly allocated to federal programs. DSS Response: The DSS partially agrees with this finding. The DSS agrees the logic used by OA-ITSD to generate the payroll extract report provided to DSS DFAS for import into the AlloCAP system did not include expenditures associated with Deferred Compensation Match Fringe (PDEFC) offered to state employees beginning in July 2022. It should be noted the PDEFC is not automatic or guaranteed and must be authorized and funded each year by the legislature during the budget process. FY23 was the first year in relative history the legislature authorized funding for PDEFC. The reason for the unchanged logic is unknown as staff transition occurred in both DSS and OA-ITSD during this time. The DSS respectfully disagrees with the finding and recommendation as represented and reported as an internal control finding related to cost allocation. The Internal Control Plan (ICP) clearly states the objectives related to the cost allocation plan and does not include oversight or reconciliation of source data provided to verify accuracy. Implementation of appropriate separation of duties and other internal control processes ensure SAMII data is not entered or maintained by the DFAS Grants Unit. As such, data integrity of SAMII and other source data provided by business units is not an internal control function within the ICP for cost allocation or the DFAS Grants Unit. Internal control findings for cost allocation should be relative to the approved objectives, data elements and processes outlined within the ICP for cost allocation or for which there is functional control. DSS DFAS continues to review internal control processes over the PACAP and AlloCap to ensure compliance with requirements and contends both were operating correctly as designed. This is evidenced as the finding did not result in any changes being required of the written PACAP or the programmed logic in AlloCap, only the raw data source provided which is not overseen or controlled by DFAS Grants Unit. It is for this reason the DSS partially agrees with the finding as the error is related to data integrity and not indicative of the strength of current internal controls for cost allocation. Corrective action planned is as follows: The DSS HRC and OA-ITSD have already identified the payroll tables and fields needed and revised the logic used to generate the payroll extract report to include Deferred Compensation Match Fringe (PDEFC). The DFAS Grants Unit utilized the revised payroll extract reports generated and provided to re-process the cost allocation system for the affected quarters in September and October 2024. As the DSS has already implemented the change, no further corrective action is required.

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2024 State Agency: Department of Social Services (DSS) – MO HealthNet Division (MHD) and Family Support Division (FSD) Audit Finding Number: 2024-002 - Medicaid and CHIP Participant Eligibility Terminations Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Stacy Kaylor Anticipated completion date for corrective action: September 1, 2025 Recommendation: The DSS through the MHD and the FSD continue to review, strengthen, and enforce internal controls to ensure ineligible participant cases are closed when necessary and resume the DHSS vital records death match in the MEDES. DSS Response: The DSS partially agrees with this finding. DSS has controls in place to close coverage when a customer requests closure; however, the procedures were not followed. During the audit period, the FSD Call Center had processes in place to accept calls for applications, renewals, change in circumstance, enter evidence and inquiries. However, contracted staff are unable to authorize any action that results in a case closing and that authorization must be completed by a DSS employee. There were procedures in place for contracted staff to submit a form that will create a task for DSS staff to finalize the actions. For the case cited in the finding, the task was not created, resulting in DSS staff not receiving the request to voluntarily close the case. Although call center staff noted in the electronic case file the purpose of the call, there are not systematic controls in place to take action or create tasks for DSS employees from the case notes. Currently, a death match with Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) vital records is functional in the Family Assistance Management Information System (FAMIS) eligibility system currently used for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and MO HealthNet for Aged, Blind, and Disabled (MHABD) individuals. When the match is received into FAMIS from DHSS, that information is included on the eligibility file submitted to the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) to ensure that the death date is captured in MMIS to prohibit any payments after the death of the individual. This control ensures that no improper payments are made on a beneficiary’s behalf after the date of death. DSS has processes in place to close eligibility when death information is received from family members and providers during the certification period. Additionally, in compliance with 42 CFR 435.949, DSS administers an electronic verification match with the federal hub at application and during the annual review process to inquire about death. DSS is continuing to evaluate necessary steps to reinstate the death match with DHSS vital records, but do not have an anticipated completion date. Regarding the questioned costs, eligibility errors are governed by section 1903(u) of the Social Security Act. Therefore, questioned costs identified in the single statewide audit should not be subject to recoupment. Corrective action planned is as follows: DSS is strengthening controls by revising the procedures of the contracted FSD Call Center to ensure case actions are completed timely. DSS will use a system action to close cases with out of state address evidence in the Missouri Eligibility and Enrollment System (MEDES).

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2024 State Agency: Department of Social Services – Family Support Division Audit Finding Number: 2024-001 – Medicaid and CHIP MAGI-Based Participant Eligibility Redeterminations Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Stacy Kaylor Anticipated completion date for corrective action: N/A Recommendation: The DSS through the MHD and the FSD continue to review and correct cases for participants with manual overrides in the MEDES, ensure redeterminations are completed for these participants as required, and close the cases of any ineligible participants. In addition, the DSS should ensure system controls are functioning as designed for these participants. DSS Response: The DSS disagrees with this finding. The DSS disagrees there is a significant deficiency in internal controls. As noted in the finding, from the 60 participants selected, the SAO did not identify any participants with previously-established overrides; therefore, no incorrect payments were cited. Section 6008 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) required states to provide continuous coverage, through the end of the month in which the PHE period ends, to all Medicaid beneficiaries who were enrolled in Medicaid on or after March 18, 2020, regardless of any changes in eligibility unless the individual voluntarily terminated eligibility, is deceased, or moved out of state. As required by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) during the PHE, the DSS had processes in place to terminate eligibility for individuals who were deceased, voluntarily requested closure, or reported they have moved out of state when a current change was reported. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, signed on December 29, 2022, amended section 6008 of the FFCRA such that the continuous enrollment condition ended on March 31, 2023. During the PHE, the DSS did not conduct reviews of cases that did not report current changes. DSS resumed initiating renewals starting in April 2023 under the unwinding plan submitted to CMS with the goal to complete all unwinding related renewals prior to the deadline of August 31, 2024. However, DSS encountered challenges in completing all unwinding renewals by the established deadline. On August 29, 2024, CMS released guidance recognizing the challenges that many states faced impacting the ability to complete unwinding related renewals and restore routine operations within the original timelines established, extending the allowance for states to continue to use the exception under 42 CFR 435.912(e) through December 31, 2025. A report identifying all individuals with manual overrides was created in August 2023 to ensure that individuals with determinations created outside of the MEDES system are being renewed timely. The DSS continues to work this report monthly. DSS staff are working to complete renewals on participants included on the report that require an annual renewal. DSS will complete redeterminations on all cases with manual overrides that have had continuous coverage for over one year by July 31, 2025. DSS notes that not all cases with manual overrides have had continuous coverage for more than one year and therefore do not currently require a redetermination. DSS will complete redeterminations on these cases when they become due. DSS will continue to use this report to ensure that all individuals that receive coverage outside of the MEDES system will receive their annual renewal as required by CFR 435.916.
