ALN: 93.575, 93.596, Corrective Action Plan: Inadequate Obligations - ARPA Stabilization - DPHHS - The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services does not concur with finding 2023-063. The department obligated all funds and then reallocated the surplus to providers that had not received prior stabilization funds. Providers that received reallotted funds were required to provide email confirmation of their express intent to receive and utilize unliquidated funds prior to 09/30/2022, thereby meeting the intent of the obligation as defined in 45 CFR 75.2. The email from the department stated funding amounts will be determined based on other Montana providers by size. Child care providers responded to the email confirming they agreed to accept the funds. Once the providers confirmed they agreed to accept funds, the department had a valid obligation, and therefore did not request the waiver offered by our federal cognizant to extend the obligation period from Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The waiver was extended to all states in recognition of the difficulty states were experiencing meeting the obligation criteria. The desert payment amounts were based on a formula using the total previously obligated unliquidated grant funds and the size of the provider. In November 2022, letters were sent to providers outlining their portion of the previously obligated allotment.

Condition: Changes in a student’s status are required to be reported to the NationalStudent Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days of the change or included in a student status confirmation report sent to the NSLDS within 60 days of the status change (Pell, 34 CFR Section 690.83(b); Direct Loan, 34 CFR Section 685.309(b)). Planned Corrective Action: The Registrar’s office in conjunction with the Financial Aid office will implement controls to ensure accurate and timely reporting to NSLDS for student enrollment status. The current cause of the untimely reporting is due to students missing social security numbers with our database which does not allow them to match to existing student in NSLDS. A report is being created through Argos (reporting software) that will be run on a monthly basis to be sure all students have the proper information needed for enrollment reporting. This report is being created through the registrar’s office and will work in conjunction with financial aid to get these records updated according with the accurate SS# for the students. Enrollment reporting is done through National Student Clearinghouse which returns error reports for a multitude of different reason one being SS#. The Assistant Registrar handles all enrollment reporting on a monthly basis. After each monthly submission the Registrar will be cross referencing the error reports to be sure that all necessary errors have been corrected and cleared. The Assistant Registrar will also be doing an analysis on the Argos report that pulls all data for the enrollment reporting submission to be sure that all data fields are still correct due to system changes on a consistent basis.
