Reporting due dates and deadlines will be documented to ensure that initial reports are produced timely. The timeframe needed to coordinate with the APPRISE consultants for reviews and updates to the reports will also be built into the process so that final reports are submitted to USDHHS by the due date.

FINDING # 2022-009No finding in prior yearThe Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has internal controls and procedures in place to ensure that required subawards are reported timely to FSRS in accordance with FFATA reporting requirements. The Homeowner Assistance Fund award received by DCA was unique in that it was planned and fully reallocated via Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement to a DCA affiliate organization to administer on the State?s behalf. As a result, the DCA did not initially believe this single reallocation transaction was subject to FFATA reporting requirements. The Accountability Officer at the affiliate organization will be involved should another program and contractual arrangement of this type occur and will ensure that the FSRS reporting is done timely. No further subaward transactions are expected to be processed by DCA as the full allocation was disbursed to our affiliate organization upon receipt of the award and execution of the MOU.COMPLETION DATE/CONTACT PERSON Fiscal Years 2023-2024John Alexy(609) 913.4385John.Alexy@dca.nj.gov

FPUC payments should not be issued to any claim without the underlying UI payment being made for the same week. The two FPUC payments issued and noted as exceptions during eligibility testing will be reviewed independently by DLWD to determine if the payments issued were to eligible recipients or not.For the PUA exceptions noted during Eligibility testing, overall the DLWD issued PUA payments to over 680,000 claimants during the COVID-19 pandemic. DLWD had controls in place to require a COVID related reason to make the claim PUA eligible and the weekly PUA certification required claimants to choose a COVID related reason for why they were out of work before they could get paid. The PUA payments in question will be reviewed independently by the DLWD to determine if the payments issued under PUA were appropriate or if they should have been paid instead under the regular UI program.COMPLETION DATE/CONTACT PERSON February 2023Ronald Marino - DLWD(609) 292-2810Ronald.Marino@dol.nj.gov

Food Commodity Shipments, Disbursements, and Inventory Not TrackedState Agency: Utah State Board of EducationFederal Program: Emergency Food Assistance Program (Food Commodities)?State agencies, sub distributing agencies, and eligible recipient agencies must maintain records to document the receipt, disposal, and inventory of commodities received under this part that they, in turn, distribute to eligible recipient agencies. (7 CFR 251.10(a)(1)? Therefore, as the distributing agency, the USBE Child Nutrition Program (CNP), shares responsibility for accountability of commodities the state of Utah receives as part of The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) with the Utah Food Bank (UFB)?the sub distributing agency. The collaborative relationship between CNP and UFB, and maintenance of sufficient records, resulted in resolution of the initial differences calculated as part of the audit.As required by 7 CFR 251.10(e), CNP monitors the operation of TEFAP, including performance of required annual reviews of recipients, and of physical inventory. In addition to the monitoring procedures currently in place, CNP will enact a policy to reconcile book inventories of donated foods at least annually as required by 7 CFR 250.12(b).Contact Person(s):Michelle Martin, USBE Program Development Coordinator, 801-538-7687Melissa Cowder, USBE Food Distribution Specialist, 801-538-7697Anticipated Correction Date: USBE will develop a policy by September 30, 2022, that will outline procedures to reconcile book inventories of donated foods annually.

However, DHCD was provided 24 hours to submit this information while the primary contributing staff was on scheduled leave and unreachable. DHCD disagrees with the statement about monthly and quarterly reports not being submitted timely. All required reports were submitted on-time and in accordance with current Treasury guidance at the time of submission. DHCD cannot ascertain the veracity of this statement about lack of supporting documentation because it was not provided the data points the auditors used to make their determination. Fully reconciled final documentation of ERA1 Participant Household Data Report was given to the Auditors. However, this data would not have matched earlier submissions to Treasury. Treasury requested full revisions because their staff became aware of many structural reporting problems were experienced by recipients while completing the reporting actions. Entries timed out, sometimes disappeared, sometimes double counted, and the database had no ability to allow for corrections once identified. For this reason, Treasury?s final reporting requirements for closeout had the option for jurisdictions to disregard all prior entries and submit a reconciled version of the households assisted and all related expenditures. This final data report was provided in this audit yet it does not match the initial submissions for the reasons stated. Because the Auditors did not afford DHCD the time to review their ?findings?, DHCD cannot ascertain the level of agreement with the statement.Action taken in response to finding: Not applicable, see above.Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Colleen MahonyPlanned completion date for corrective action plan: Not applicable, see above.
