Planned Corrective Action: The Foundation followed the express instructions of the State of Alabama, Department of Finance (the “Grantor”) to The Alabama Nursing Home Association Education Foundation (the “Foundation”), which permitted the Foundation to rely upon the certifications of nursing home applicants that the applicant had or will have sufficient unmet needs related to qualifying purposes due to the COVID‐19 pandemic to support the receipt of the various allocations of the herein described COVID‐19 Funds. Under the terms of the certification, each applying nursing home further certified that for ten (10) years it would maintain auditable records supporting the unmet need and use of the COVID‐19 Funds. This manner of requiring only a certification for the distribution to health care providers is consistent with the requirements the federal government used when distributing an array of emergency funding (e.g., provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds) to health care providers to meet the unmet needs caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. The term “COVID‐19 Funds” means those funds the Foundation received from the Grantor with respect to (i) The CARES Act Corona Virus Relief Funds for the period from January 31, 2020, through December 31, 2021, and (ii) America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for unmet needs for qualifying purposes incurred or to be incurred during the period March 11, 2021, through December 31, 2024. To provide further assurance that the COVID‐19 Funds were properly applied by the nursing home beneficiaries receiving COVID‐19 Funds through the Foundation, the Foundation is working with its outside accountants and legal counsel to develop a look‐back review plan. The framework of the lookback review plan will be for each nursing home beneficiary that received COVID‐19 Funds to submit during the calendar year 2024, a worksheet similar to the period reporting worksheets that are required by the federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) to justify the COVID‐19 provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds received by health care providers. In addition to these HRSA type worksheets, a more in‐depth examination of a sample of nursing homes will be made by randomly selecting 10 nursing homes from a pool of the 30 nursing homes that received the most COVID‐19 Funds through the Foundation, plus another 10 nursing homes from the remainder of the pool of beneficiary nursing homes. These randomly selected nursing homes will be required to supply actual documentation supporting the COVID‐19 Funds received. This documentation will include invoices, payroll records, revenue journals, and cost reports. Among the provisions of the certifications submitted by each applying nursing home, is an acknowledgement that (i) the nursing home is subject to audit by the applicable State and federal agencies, and the Foundation, (ii) any COVID‐19 Funds received through the Foundation and not properly applied must be refunded, and the nursing home will comply with the requirement that it must maintain for ten (10) years auditable records supporting its use of the COVID‐19 Funds it received through the Foundation. In the event that it is determined that one or more nursing homes were unable to properly apply the COVID‐19 Funds to an unmet need for a qualifying purpose, those COVID‐19 Funds will be recouped and either redistributed to any nursing homes that are able show an unmet need continues to exist using a distribution formula consistent with past distributions of refunded COVID‐19 Funds, or returned to the Grantor. This redistribution or return to the Grantor will occur no later than December 31, 2024. Person(s) Responsible: John Matson, Executive Director

Identifying Number: 2023-001 Audit Recommendation: Procedures should be consistently applied requiring the reconciliation of employee timecards to actual costs allocated and charged to federal and other programs. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: To ensure compliance with grant requirements and address the issue with employee timecards and vouchers submitted, the following steps will be implemented: 1. Time Tracking: Employees will continue to be required to record their time every two weeks (through HourTimeSheet), ensuring that the hours worked align with the percentage of time allocated to the grant for those two weeks. 2. Clear Communication: The Project Director will clarify the importance of matching monthly hours with the percentage allocated to all staff participating in the grant. This will help prevent misunderstandings regarding time reporting. 3. Reviews: The Project Director will continue to conduct monthly reviews of timecards to verify that reported hours correspond with the grant’s allocation requirements before submitting vouchers. By implementing these measures, we aim to ensure that timecards accurately reflect the allocation of employee-related costs on a monthly basis, promoting compliance with grant requirements moving forward.
