Finding: 2022-003 Name of contact person: Brittany Majors (Program Manager), Donna Rimmer (AM Supervisor), Joanna Thompson and Meredith Farmer (Leadworkers) Corrective Action: Some of the verifications missing were lost in the County 2020 Cyber Incident. The County consulted with State Medicaid Reps who advised the County would be in error to request information previously used to make those determination of eligibility which were lost due to not being able to 100% recover from the Cyber Incident. Therefore, the County implemented a new procedural requirement regarding document management and retention of verification used to determine eligibility. Effective January 2022, all economic benefit programs at Person County DSS were required to upload all verifications used in determining eligiblity into NCFAST. In regards to incorrect data being entered as evidence the Management team conducted individual and unit meeting/trainings to inform parties of the errors discovered and how to reduce/eliminate in future processing. The County would like for it to be notated that eligibility would not have been affected due to the data entry level. Proposed Completion Date: 9/30/2022

Corrective action plan: In December 2021, HHSC implemented the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) Provider Enrollment Management System (PEMS), an automated system that is the single tool for provider enrollment, re-enrollment, revalidation, and maintenance requests (maintaining and updating provider enrollment record information). HHSC is confident that as the LTC providers are enrolled and re-validated through PEMS, the errors for documentation will be corrected. The LTC process will mirror the sampled acute care providers which were found to be 100 percent compliant during this review, further supporting that the process is working. Implementation date(s): December 2021 Responsible persons: Deputy Associate Commissioner, Operations Management

Corrective action plan: TDA maintains an internal policy that requires SOC reports to be reviewed annually and document complementary user entity controls included in each SOC report. TDA?s contract with Colyar LLC requires the vendor to produce a SOC report annually. The vendor was late in providing the SOC report as a 2022 contract deliverable. TDA took actions to ensure vendor accountability for submitting the late contract deliverable and the vendor was required to complete a corrective action plan. TDA will review and assess the SOC report as soon as it is delivered by the vendor to ensure CLA?s recommendations can be followed and will consider additional procedures to ensure internal controls are assessed in the absence of a SOC report. Implementation date(s): June 2023 Responsible persons: Chief Information Officer and the Director for Food and Nutrition Program Support

Corrective action plan: FDCM/OI investigators will review PIRTS reports on a regularly scheduled basis to ensure that Boards are uploading all required documentation related to childcare improper payments and taking collection efforts. The PIRTS system is in the process of being updated and is currently undergoing User Acceptance Testing. The updated system should allow for more robust reporting and controls. Additionally, FDCM/OI will provide more robust training and retraining to Boards that fall out of compliance. FDCM/OI will also develop an escalation policy in cases where Boards are not responsive to investigators? requests for status updates or document uploads into PIRTS. FDCM/OI investigators will ensure that SRM monitors are fully briefed on childcare improper payment cases at a Board as part of SRM?s annual monitoring review of the Board. Finally, FDCM/OI will ensure that all relevant controlling documents, e.g. Workforce Development Letter 21-16, Change 3 and its attached Child Care Fact-Finder?s Desk Aid; and the TWC?s Child Care Services Guide are updated to incorporate these new procedures. Implementation date(s): June 1, 2023 Responsible Persons: Jason Stalinsky, Deputy Division Director, Division of Fraud Deterrence and Compliance Monitoring

EA Application/Determination Corrective action plan: DFPS will ensure that INV/AR staff receive ongoing communication/training regarding EA and how to correctly document and record income within the IMPACT. DFPS will update the current EA policy and publishing a new resource guide for staff. DFPS staff will be provided training, tip sheets and ongoing support regarding the new policy and resource guide. The policy will be published by April 1, 2023. DFPS will continue to strengthen our internal quality assurance review of cases eligible for EA to ensure that INV/AR staff are complying with federal guidelines and internal policies. DFPS has submitted an IT ticket request to resolve the condition for the participant that had the incorrect income range of $0-$10,000 selected to the correct income range of $20,550 to $40,549 to align with the investigation report. The participant remains eligible for assistance regardless as the family unit makes less than $63,000. CPI will initiate a request for an IT project to conduct analysis of any limitations with verifying Emergency Assistance eligibility in the IMPACT system regarding why two of the three EA statements now show not answered. DFPS staff will be researching the issue to determine next steps by 2nd quarter FY 2024. Implementation date(s): Ongoing communication ? will vary, first communication by April 1, 2023; IMPACT research January 31, 2024. Responsible persons: Jerome Green PEAF Corrective action plan: DFPS uses an established recoupment process to address overpayments. A Kinship Development Worker writes a letter to the kinship caregiver regarding the overpayment and details the steps needed to return funds. This letter is also sent to accounting for follow up. DFPS maintains a proactive approach to strengthening/enhancing IMPACT limitations to ensure accurate data is maintained for accurate payments/disbursements through continuous program improvement. Implementation date(s): On January 13, 2023 ? staff initiated the above described recoupment process to recoup the second payment for the subject children. Responsible persons: Debbie Bouldin

Corrective action plan: To prevent similar errors from occurring until program closure, TRR management shared these findings with the external application review vendor on January 26, 2023, reiterating the processes for reviewing and approving rental assistance according to all program policies and procedures and ensuring that appropriate documentation related to review of applications is maintained in the files. Eligibility errors are expected in all programs, and TRR has developed different processes to address errors when identified. For these particular cases, TRR management requested the vendor take corrective action for each case as applicable (e.g., by requesting a return of funds for overpayment or by requesting additional information from applicants). Implementation date(s): January 26, 2023 Responsible persons: Danny Shea, TRR Senior Program Manager

2022-004 Eligibility: Public Housing Tenant Files Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA Number 14.850 Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Repeat Finding from June 30, 2021 reported as Finding 2021-002 Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 300 tenant files, 25 files were selected for testing (but stopped testing after 18 files due to the volume of errors). Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 tenant file where the Authority was unable to locate and therefore could not test items such as Form 9986, personal declaration form, birth certificates, social security cards, income and deduction support, and EIV verification. The Authority indicated it was recreating the file. ? 2 tenant files with missing 214 affidavits. ? 1 tenant file where the 214 affidavit was not signed. ? 5 tenant files where the personal declaration form was not in the file. ? 1 tenant file where the Form 9886 was not in the file. ? 1 tenant file where the Form 9886 was signed approximately 3 months after the recertification date. ? 4 tenant files with income issues which may have changed the tenant rent amount: o 1 file where there was no support for the family contribution listed on the 50058. o 1 file where there was no support for the child support listed on the 50058. o 2 files where general assistance income (food stamps) was listed as income on the 50058 but should have been excluded. ? 4 tenant files with deduction issues which may have changed the tenant rent amount: o 1 file where the utility allowance of $91 was not on the 50058. This was corrected subsequently on an interim certification. o 1 file where the ?Disclosure of Information? form listed weekly child care expenses, but no child care expenses were deducted on the 50058 and there was no documentation or support in the file explaining if the child care expenses were deductible. o 1 file where the ?Recertification Summary? form listed weekly medical expenses, but no medical expenses were deducted on the 50058 and there was no documentation or support in the file explaining if the medical expenses were deductible. o 1 tenant file where the prior year utility allowance of $82 was used instead of the current utility allowance of $90. ? 1 file where the tenant is paying a flat rent of $686. However, the flat rent appears to be the amount from the previous year and it doesn?t appear that a current flat rent study was conducted or approved. ? 1 file where the dependent date of birth listed on the 50058 did not agree to the birth certificate. ? 2 files where the birth certificates were missing. ? 2 files where the social security cards were missing. ? 1 file where the EIV was not in the file. Auditor?s Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: As was also instituted for HCV participant files, the Authority has instituted a checklist sheet that will occupy the front interior of all tenant files. This checklist will contain every document that is required to be placed in the tenant file. The Authority has and will affirm the use of its procedures, and continue to implement procedures to ensure all tenant files are maintained in accordance with policies and procedures. Additionally: ? All noted deficiencies will be corrected and cured on or before March 31, 2023. ? The Authority has also taken steps to stabilize staff by hiring a Property Manager and an Occupancy Specialist that will support the Public Housing Department. ? The Authority has implemented a 100% quality control review of all participant files. Task will be completed by an outside specialized compliance consulting company. The consulting company will report initial findings to the Authority and deficiencies will be cured before the final completion of certification. Thereby reducing any additional findings with tenant files. Task began February 1, 2023, and will continue for one year. ? Repeated noted errors will be reported to the Senior Property Manager and additional hand?s-on training regarding deficient items will be completed as necessary

2022-001 Eligibility: HCV Tenant Files Section 8 Housing Voucher Cluster (Section 8): Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program ? CFDA Number 14.871 Mainstream Vouchers ? CFDA Number 14.879 Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Repeat Finding from June 30, 2021 (Finding 2021-001 and originally reported in 2017 as Finding 2017-001) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 1400 vouchers, 26 files were selected for testing. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 utility allowance error where the utility allowance amount of $288 on the 52667 form was reported on the 50058 form for $298. This had no effect on the HAP rent. ? 2 214 affidavit errors where a member of the tenant?s household did not checkmark the box on their 214 forms indicating that they are either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident. Based on the birth certificates, the member of the households were a U.S. citizen. ? 1 214 affidavit error where the 214 form was missing for a member of the tenant?s household. ? 1 income error where one of the tenant?s pay check was missing for the tenant?s income calculation. Basing the tenant?s wage income calculation on the support in the tenant file would not have changed the HAP rent. ? 1 HAP contract error where the HAP contract is missing from the tenant file. ? 2 9886 errors where members of the household over the age of 18 did not sign and date the 9886 forms. ? 2 deduction errors where members of two households, who were 18 years of age, received a $480 deduction. Correcting this error caused the HAP rent to decrease by $12 for each tenant. ? 1 lead base paint error where the lessor (landlord) did not sign the form to indicate that the information provided to the tenant is accurate. ? 2 EIV errors where the EIV form was not generated or were missing for the tenant?s annual recertification. ? 1 50058 error where the tenant?s childcare support was coded as unemployment benefits on the 50058. ? 1 tenant file unavailable for review due to Hurricane IAN, but no support could be provided. In addition, we also noted as part of our new admissions testing (21 files tested out of approximately 203 new admissions) the following: ? 1 tenant file unavailable for review due to Hurricane IAN, but no support could be provided. Auditor?s Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has implemented a 100% quality control review of all participant files. Task will be completed by an outside specialized compliance consulting company. The consulting company will report initial findings to the Authority and deficiencies will be cured before the final completion of certification. Thereby reducing any additional findings with tenant files. Task began February 1, 2023, and will continue for one year. Repeated noted errors will be reported to the HCV Manager and additional hand?s-on training regarding deficient items will be completed as necessary

2022-004 Special Tests and Provisions ? CARES Act Funding Material Weakness / Material Noncompliance The Housing Authority completed modifications to the main office building with CARES Act funding. The Section 8 specialist employees work in the main office building with the administrative staff of the Housing Authority. Prior to COVID, the Section 8 specialists were working in cubicles which were not compliant with the CDC guidelines of distance. CARES Act funding was used to build separate offices and install an air filtration system. The rest of the main office was only modified to stay uniform with the other modifications such as painting and new flooring. The amount of the total project charged to the HCV program was in relation to what improvements were made as well as which employees were occupying the space. Effective July 2022, Section 8 is leasing this section of the main office, which was approved by HUD QAD. This finding has been corrected. The Comptroller, Jennifer Yager, worked with the outside auditors as well as the CFO consultant to resolve the posting errors. Jennifer can be reached at 203-596-2640.
This issue was from a previous year, and has been corrected this current fiscal year (2022-2023) and will not be an issue moving forward.

DHCF and DHS concur with the findings. For bullet point #1 of the findings noted: Fourteen (14) of the cases were delayed because of caseworker inaction within 45 days. However, of those (14) cases, all were sent notices. There were system tickets created for multiple cases listed however they were created well after the 45 days. As a corrective action DHS will provide refresher training and reinforce oversight controls to ensure caseworkers and supervisors are processing applications within federally required timeframes. DHCF is working on enhancing the medical application in the District Direct resident portal to ensure a user-friendly experience for residents to submit applications online. As a result, we expect to see a decrease in delays to application processing as well as a decrease in caseworkers having to trigger notices as the online forum will automate the mailing of notices. For bullet point #2 of the findings noted: One (1) of the cases sighted for lack of verification of SSN was an improper caseworker application of the death process. On 12/09/22 the agency received a death certificate for the beneficiary confirming the decease date of 11/26/22. An application was later received on 12/22/23 with no indication of need for retro- services. The application was improperly processed due to the death notification date. As a corrective action refresher training will be provided to caseworker to ensure the proper application of the death process. For bullet point #3 of the findings noted: One (1) of the cases sighted for lack of verification of SSN was an improper caseworker application of the death process. On 12/09/22 the agency received a death certificate for the beneficiary confirming the decease date of 11/26/22. An application was later received on 12/22/23 with no indication of need for retro- services. The application was improperly processed due to the death notification date. As a corrective action refresher training will be provided to caseworker to ensure the proper application of the death process. One (1) of the cases sighted for lack of verification was a result of improper application of COVID procedures. A request was made to the hub to match SSN and citizenship information attested to by the beneficiary. No match was returned by the hub; RFI /General communication was issued to request citizenship verification; no response was received however COVID PHE rules prohibited closure of case; eligibility was extended on the back end. Although the RFI /General communication was issued correctly, the COVID process to clear the verification to prevent termination was not. The process to clear verifications was not applicable to SSN and Citizenship and this case should have been denied for failure to verify. Although COVID processes are no longer in place as a corrective action the district will incorporate the manual citizenship process into the refresher training related to beneficiaries whose hub ping returns as null.

CFSA concurs with the findings as stated. For bullet point #1 of the findings noted: This appears to be a data entry error that occurred during the eligibility team?s preparation for the single audit. The room & board costs that occurred during the erroneous ?Eligible Not Reimbursable? period on the redetermination form were claimed to title IV-E in real time during CFSA?s quarterly claiming process. The Supervisory Eligibility Specialist has already begun a 10% quarterly quality review process of all eligibility determinations. For bullet point #2 of the findings noted: The youths in question were enrolled in high school at the start of the school year (and reflected as such in the FACES system) but were actually chronically truant. CFSA?s Business Services Administration and the Office of Youth Empowerment have implemented a joint quarterly review of the educational/employment/incapacity status of 18-to-21-year-old youth who are IV-E eligible to ensure that they meet federal requirements to support IV-E claims on their behalf. For bullet point #3 of the findings noted: The issues with background checks pertained to ?other adults residing in the home? who were not the licensed foster parents. The corrective action going forward is to produce source documentation during the audit that identifies the household composition of the foster family home so that the auditors have a clear picture of those who are adults and therefore require evidence that background checks were completed satisfactorily for IV-E eligibility purposes. CFSA will include the sections of the applications/re-applications for foster family home licensure, as appropriate, into the digital catalogue of readily available licensure documentation available for audit retrieval. These documents corroborate household composition for the purpose of identifying who, within the household, requires background checks. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

DOEE agrees with the conditions and recommendations of this finding. DOEE proposes to strengthen its controls in the following manner: ? DOEE?s third party database developer updated the code in fiscal year 2022 to prevent occurrences of incorrect benefit amounts generated due to an error in identifying correctly inputted income amounts. The overall operations and maintenance of the eligibility systems ensure the code remains updated with accurate information. ? In fiscal year 2022, DOEE implemented a quality assurance (Q/A) check of benefit payments to identify database errors and duplicate benefits before submitting benefit payments to Utility vendors. DOEE continues this process today to ensure that database errors are identified and addressed in a timely manner. DOEE?s database developer will create and modify the second review report that is exportable to formats that can be read and understood and inclusive of all signed second application reviews. ? DOEE will conduct, and require participation by staff in, quarterly system demonstration and refresher trainings in order to strengthen existing policies and procedures to ensure the review of applications and household size are correctly recorded into the system.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the finding in this report. The DCAS System is currently configured to receive the Title II benefit information via the SSA BENDEX periodic data match process. However, the Title II benefit information is shared with DCAS only when the benefit information with the SSA changes. In the scenario where a TANF benefit is certified on a new application, the BENDEX PDM process will not provide the Title II benefit information to DCAS. Hence, we have seen evidence of the data matches not happening up until the point when the benefit information recorded with SSA has changed. The SSA SolQi interface does provide a customer?s Title II and Title XVI benefit information at the time of the initial application, however, this interface in DCAS is configured as a verification interface. In other words, if the customer has reported income from the Social Security Administration, then the DCAS System uses the data match with the SolQi interface to verify the information reported. If a verification is outstanding on the reported benefit from the SSA, and the information received from SolQi matches, then DCAS system is configured to systematically resolve the verification. Hence, there has been evidence of the record received via SolQi, however, the record was not used to update the internal evidence which is used by the eligibility rules. DHCF DCAS teams are tracking system enhancements, logged in internal JIRA tickets ? DSM-3185 and DSM-3186 to enhance DCAS? interface with SolQi to leverage the interface at initial application and during the recertification process to ensure that the DCAS System has the most up to date income information from SSA to determine eligibility. These tickets are currently scoped for the FNS-AWL-CAP-5 releases planned for fiscal year 2024. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

Department of Human Services (DHS)/Economic Security Administration (ESA) concur with the findings. DHS Division of Program Operations (DHS/DPO) have embarked on a partnership with Office of Information Systems (OIS) and the Division of Innovation and Change (DICM) to create a unique identifier in DC Access System (DCAS) which will be utilized to properly associate case documents with the appropriate Integrated Case number in DIMS. This process will reduce and/or eliminate unassociated documents in DIMS. In addition, DPO/ESA and OIS will partner to conduct refresher training for staff on how to properly scan and tag case documents as well as how to conduct searches for case documents in DIMS.

Corrective Action Plan Village of Spring Valley Housing Authority 2022 Audit Finding 2022-001 ? Eligibility Auditee?s Response and Planned Corrective Action The Authority has had staff and consultant turnover during the period under audit. Additionally, the eviction moratorium and lasting effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in delayed or nonexistent response from tenants regarding obtaining the necessary documentation for eligibility requirements. The Authority has evidentiary documentation supporting their attempts to obtain the required documents from the tenants, including certified letters. The courts suspended evictions during the eviction moratorium that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes evictions for nonpayment and noncompliance. The Authority has been working with legal counsel on these matters and continues to pursue this vigorously. The Authority has also hired new staff and consultants who have been diligently working to implement improvements to the administrative systems related to recertifications. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: March 2023 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Keith Burrell, Executive Director

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Staffing turnover limited ability for portfolio property managers to effectively manage tenant files at each building location. Inglis has contracted with an external expert regarding implementation and process training for Yardi, the new property management system. Once fully implemented there are several key internal controls within the system that will alert property management team to tenant issues regarding rent and recertifications. Items such as documenting extenuating circumstances in TRACS and updating the form 50059 will occur more timely once Inglis has successfully implemented Yardi property management system for each property.
