Management Response #2023-008: Due to staff turnover, the Corporation did not consistently enforce segregation of duties between the individual responsible for determining income eligibility and the one completing the medical risk assessment. The Corporation also failed to provide sufficient support to verify that the applicant signed the Rights and Obligations statement. Corrective Action Plan: • All eligibility verification data, including screenshots and signed Rights and Obligations statements, will be stored in a centralized, secure shared drive maintained and managed by the WIC Director to ensure it is protected with limited access and password protection. The drive will be organized using a de-identified naming convention to ensure privacy while maintaining ease of access for authorized staff. • To maintain a robust system of checks and balances, tasks related to eligibility verification and documentation will be divided among different team members. This separation will prevent any one individual from having full control over the process, reducing the risk of oversight or potential errors. • The WIC Department’s policy and procedure manuals will be revised and updated to include the new eligibility verification process. • To ensure adherence to the new protocols, periodic audits and review sessions will be conducted by the WIC Director or designated compliance staff to verify that documentation is being properly maintained and that all procedures are followed. Staff will be required to undergo refresher training sessions as needed to reinforce the updated protocols and best practices. Responsible Party: Tracy Harrison, COO

The University has various internal controls, system fraud controls, and integrity measures in place as required or identified as industry best-practice to mitigate and prevent the increasing sophistication of fraudulent activity. In academic year 2023 the University had 282 online students selected for Verification by the Department of Education (ED). The 8 isolated fraud instances were the only identified fraud cases. The University receives valid identity verification checks from the Department of Education (ED) as an input for creating student profiles. Additionally, the University works with administrative agencies and leverages FAFSA checks conducted by Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Justice (DOJ). Financial Aid does not disburse until enrollment verification is complete. 1. The University has reviewed prior fiscal years to determine if additional fraudulently enrolled students received student financial assistance, and if fraudulent loans and awards were awarded. The University conducted an in-depth analysis of multiple qualitative attributes of students receiving financial assistance. This analysis identified high risk students receiving loans and awards. Students in this population were required to complete V4 verification. 2. The University implemented anti-fraud measures as an alternative to automated student Internet Protocol (IP) verification. During the analysis to identify fraudulently enrolled students, the University identified programs at high-risk for fraudulent activity. As a proactive fraudulent activity identification measure, the University will require all students in high-risk programs, with active FAFSAs to submit and complete V4 identity verification. This anti-fraud measure will identify fraudulently enrolled students prior to the disbursement of student financial assistance including loans and awards. 3. The University has put in to place a number of additional verification measures and detective controls to validate online student identities and check for repetitive information and trends. The University is conducting feasibility studies to determine if the suggested guidance for Internet Protocol student verification abides by certain security and privacy standards and policies. Additionally, the University has concern with fraudsters ability to mask Internet Protocols by deploying Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). This renders the advanced protocols ineffective. As a compensating control, the University will begin selecting 5% of online students for V4 verification. Random sampling of online students for identity verification provides enhanced detective measures to combat the risk of identity theft for use in financial aid fraud. Additionally, the University put in place several upfront measures to detect repetitive information and trends to identify potentially fraudulent activity. Detective monitoring reporting identifies duplicate deposit information, redundant student email information, and duplicate student address information. The Department will continue to utilize these successful anti-fraud measures to proactively identify fraudulent student identities. 4. The University will continue its efforts working with law enforcement agencies to recover improper payments for fraudulent claims it paid due to identity theft, to the extent practicable. The University worked with law enforcement agencies to investigate the fraud. At the conclusion of the investigation $138,135 has been repaid. The University will continue to partner with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and financial institutions across the country to recover losses and aggressively pursue legal action against perpetrators of fraud.
