Congressionally Directed Spending – 93.493 Recommendation: We recommend that the University reviews its procedures around review and approval of expenditures to ensure that only valid expenditures are reported. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The identified expenditures were removed from the award and appropriately reclassified in September 2025. In response to this finding, the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) has increased the frequency of general ledger review for its federal awards from monthly to twice monthly. This review process includes a direct cross-reference between transactions and the approved award budget. This enhanced oversight allows for timely identification and correction of discrepancies. The UMA Finance Department has several initiatives underway which will mitigate the risk of similar mispostings in the future, including the implementation of a formal training program for staff as a preventative control. A monthly reconciliation and transaction level review process which will be completed with principal investigators is also being developed. These additional procedures are expected to be in place by May 2026 and will support a consistent and strong awareness of federal compliance requirements, award administration and University of Maine System policies and procedures.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – 84.063 Recommendation: We recommend that a review is implemented which compares enrolled credits to Pell award to ensure all Pell funds are awarded at proper amounts. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Upon notification of the finding, a query was developed and a review performed to identify potentially impacted records in advance of the 2025-2026 academic year. The University has also added review mechanisms to its semester-based enrollment adjustment and repackaging process designed to identify Enrollment Intensity (EI) coding changes, either by batch or manual processes. These review mechanisms allowed for the increased monitoring and correction of potentially incorrect EI coding that would ultimately increase the likelihood of an incorrect Pell Grant amount. A formal bi-weekly query and review process has recently been implemented that compares the student’s total enrollment for a term with the coded EI, confirming accuracy of the EI percentage. The query process also checks that the posted Pell award is the correct amount based on the EI percentage.

Corrective Action Plan: The Department agrees with the Auditor’s recommendation to strengthen internal controls over utilization reviews of hospital claims to ensure claims are processed accurately and timely through the Ohio Medicaid Enterprise System Fiscal Intermediary (FI) module. The Department is addressing the system edits that caused delays and ineffective processing of take-back claims. The recoupment process is in place; however, hospital recoupments are temporarily paused while necessary system testing and provider training are completed. The Department intentionally halted recoupments because system issues prevented hospitals from resubmitting corrected claims after a recoupment occurred. The Department is working with system vendors to update system logic so hospital claims can be processed correctly. The changes are currently in the testing phase, and, once validated, will be implemented statewide. As of February 20, vendors have deployed two system fixes. A hospital provider is now testing claims and confirming these fixes resolved the issues. During testing, an opportunity was identified to clarify requirements for hospital providers and is developing a simplified process document to support them. It is important to note that Surveillance Utilization Reviews (SURS) vendor findings may reflect billing or coding errors that do not always result in incorrect payment. A finding may indicate an overpayment, an underpayment, or no change. When a billing error is identified, hospitals may be permitted to re-bill with corrected information so that the proper payment can be made. Recouping claims before the system logic is corrected could create a financial hardship for hospitals that delivered medically necessary services to eligible individuals. The Department has a monitoring process in place. After final testing and acceptance, the SURS team will send the appropriate files to the vendor for processing. Once the FI vendor processes the file, SURS will receive claim status information and will track these claims to ensure accurate reprocessing. When take-back processing is resumed, recoupments will be staggered to help avoid financial hardship for providers.

Corrective Action Plan: The Department agrees with the finding and already has a plan underway to resolve the issues. ODM has been working with the Ohio Medicaid Enterprise System Fiscal Intermediary (FI) vendor to document the Third Party Liability (TPL) process and identify needed system updates, including importing electronic historical evidence into the FI module and creating new system panels that make TPL information easier for staff to view and work with. Thirteen TPL-related system updates have been identified; eight are already in progress and nearly complete. Once these updates are finished, TPL data including archived historical information will be accessible directly in FI in a familiar format. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requires states to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products and rely on default tools whenever possible. The FI system initially lacked a data structure that could store all historical TPL information in an accessible way. Because the COTS system does not use the same tracking fields as the prior system, some historical evidence such as Document Control Numbers (DCNs) or supporting insurance documentation could not be viewed in FI during the audit period. ODM is adding new panels and data fields so this historical information can be accessed more easily going forward. TPL is complex, and due to the FI system limitations, monitoring is currently a manual process. The ODM TPL Unit Manager continues to review a sample of verifications to ensure insurance information is accurate and correctly captured in FI. The manager maintains a spreadsheet documenting TPL activity, with all relevant recipient information except the DCN (which is not available in FI). The TPL Unit manually removes or end dates TPL coverage in FI and sends a file to the vendor each week to add TPL information to the Other External Enrollment panel. The Department will take necessary steps to ensure all relevant data elements and documentation are maintained and accessible when major system upgrades or replacements occur, including appropriate retention of historical data.

Corrective Action Plan: The Department agrees with the finding related to the large volume of system alerts and remains committed to ongoing work with our vendor, the Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), and the Department of Children and Youth (DCY) to improve the Ohio Benefits eligibility system and reduce unnecessary alerts, including those generated through IEVS. These efforts are already showing progress: total incoming alerts decreased from 21.2 million in SFY 2024 to 16.9 million in SFY 2025. ODM has also reduced the average time it takes to clear alerts. Alerts play a key role in program integrity by notifying county caseworkers of important eligibility information that may require action. Anytime new programs are added to the Ohio Benefits system or program rules change, new alerts may be generated. ODM meets every other month with ODJFS to review IEVS-related issues. This collaboration resulted in nine system enhancements in SFY 2025 to reduce unnecessary alert generation. Several enhancements introduced Smart Alert Hierarchy logic, which prevents duplicate alerts by directing an alert to the individual’s first active or pending program in the sequence: Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, Child Care. Notable changes include: • AVS alerts: Only the final alert is generated 15 business days after the request. • SWICA alerts: The threshold for generating alerts increased to $750 per quarter or $250 per month. • PARIS alerts: Alerts are no longer generated when data matches previous records or when information is incomplete; Smart Alert Hierarchy now applies. • New Hire alerts: Alerts are suppressed when employer information has not changed; Smart Alert Hierarchy applies. • BENDEX alerts: Alerts are suppressed when SSA information has not changed; program-specific income limit alerts were retired; Smart Alert Hierarchy applies. • IEVS UCB and SDX alerts: Alerts no longer generate when changes are under $250 per month (up from $25). • IEVS BENDEX alerts: Alerts suppressed for changes under $250 per month (up from $49). • IRS Unearned Income alerts: Alerts suppressed when income differences are within $250 per month of existing records. ODM is continuing to evaluate additional alert-reduction opportunities. Confirmed upcoming system updates include: • Release 5.5 (anticipated June 12, 2026): Automation of verified-upon-receipt SDX interfaces, suppressing alerts after automatic reconciliation. • Release 5.6 (anticipated August 22, 2026): Updated thresholds for IRS Unearned Income alerts. Regarding automation, ODJFS explored using bots to process IEVS alerts. However, federal rules prohibit automation in IEVS processing for SNAP, and because IEVS alerts span multiple programs, automation cannot be applied solely for Medicaid. ODM will continue working with ODJFS to evaluate future options. ODM’s Technical Assistance, Compliance, and County Engagement teams regularly train and support county staff. ODJFS provides a web-based course, available year-round through the County Resources website, to ensure ongoing access despite frequent staffing changes. The training is being updated to be more interactive and modular. The next live annual training event is scheduled for October 2026. The Auditor of State noted that 833,232 of the 1,721,772 IEVS alerts issued during the audit period (48.4%) were not cleared within 45 days. Federal rules require agencies to develop and follow verification procedures (42 CFR 435.945), and state rule OAC 5160:1-1-04 requires agencies to take specific steps to determine eligibility within 45 days. However, clearing an alert in the Ohio Benefits system is not itself a federal or state requirement. ODM agrees counties must improve the administrative step of clearing alerts, but failure to clear an alert does not necessarily mean the information was not reviewed or acted upon in a timely manner. ODM will continue to emphasize the importance of completing this final step.
