The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) recognizes the need to strengthen its monitoring of Subaward reporting requirements to ensure timely reporting. To address this, the agency is already in the process of updating its policies and procedures to enhance oversight and compliance. As part of the policy updates, the DCA is assigning designated staff to track Subaward issuance and reporting. This ensures clear accountability and improves oversight of reporting requirements. The DCA is working to integrate automated reminders and alerts into its process to notify designated staff of upcoming Subaward reporting deadlines. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of missed reporting obligations. The DCA is working to establish a process for conducting periodic compliance reviews to assess adherence to FFATA Subaward reporting requirements. This review will help identify potential issues early and allow for timely corrective actions. To reinforce FFATA compliance, the DCA is working to implement a training initiative to ensure designated staff are knowledgeable about FFATA requirements and the importance of timely reporting. Regular communication efforts will further promote awareness and adherence to reporting deadlines.

The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD) has reviewed the controls in place for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) programs that expired with payments for CWE 9/4/21. The system controls in place for FPUC continues to require that an underlying UI/PUA payment must first be issued before any FPUC payment could be generated. Similar controls were in place for any PUA payments, where claimants have to choose a valid pandemic related reason for being unemployed before any PUA payment could be issued. These controls, before any CARES Act related payment could be issued, were in place for the duration of the CARES Act program. No PUA or FPUC payment should be issued without these requirements being met. We will continue to enforce these controls.

Community Service Society (the Society) requires its subrecipients to submit their financial and progress program reports fifteen days after the end of the reporting period. This is done so that the Society can review the underlying documentation in those reports to ensure that proper payments are made to the subrecipients and, in turn, proper and timely reports are filed by the Society with the State of New York. There are instances when, because of delays in receipt of information from the subrecipients, or information from the subrecipients needs to be revised, reports are submitted late to the State of New York. The Society notifies the State of New York when reports will be submitted late. In addition, the Society is working with its subrecipients to improve their reporting procedures, as well as the timeliness and accuracy of their reports. This will result in the Society improving the timeliness of its reporting to the State of New York.
