Finding Number: 2023-002 Finding Title: Eligibility Program: Medical Assistance Program (AL No. 93.778) Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Quinn Jaeger, Director and Karen Syverson, Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: To address the findings from the recent audit, Clay County Social Services will take both immediate and long-term corrective actions. First, the case files identified with discrepancies will be revie.wed in detail, and necessary corrections will be made to ensure that the documentation in both the case files and the MAXIS system aligns with program requirements. Requests for case file numbers have already been submitted to the MA team lead to identify the cases needing correction. This will include reverification of asset amounts, we will match MAXIS's citizenship status with the appropriate documentation within the case file. In addition, one-on-one reviews will be conducted with the staff responsible for administering the affected cases. During these reviews, case-specific feedback will be provided, detailing the nature of the errors and explaining corrective actions to prevent recurrence. For long-term preventative measures, Clay County will implement a more comprehensive and mandatory training program for all staff involved in eligibility determination. This training will focus on key areas such as proper documentation for citizenship, asset verification, and data entry protocols to reduce human errors in MAXIS. We will continue conducting periodic case file audits with increased frequency to detect errors early and provide timely feedback to staff. Audit results will be shared with the entire team to promote learning from errors and reinforce best practices in documentation and data entry. Anticipated Completion Date: The cases found in error will be corrected by November 15, 2024. Case file reviews will continue monthly.

GVHC implemented the physical review and controls described in the 2022 audit response. Our efforts were largely successful as the missing application was the only failure of the physical audit process we put in place. However, a failure of our technology and billing software was revealed. Our plan it to: 1. Continue to provide frequent education and training for front-desk staff to assist in preparation and required completion of the sliding fee applications and proof of income. 2. Continue to identify patients who have exhausted their limited Medicaid benefits and will now qualify for sliding fee scale for dental work. 3. Continue to review reports identifying patients with no end date identified for their sliding fee scale. For identified accounts, determine correct date and enter in the system. 4. Continue 100% audit of all sliding fee scale applications for accuracy of calculation and presence of necessary paperwork. Provide direct feedback to staff when errors are identified. Integrate changes to billing software into the process when sliding fee scales are adjusted and posted. Run reports of sliding fee scale discounts and audit for correct calculation.

Finding ref number: 2023-001 Finding caption: The Housing Authority had inadequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with Housing Quality Standards enforcement requirements of its Housing Voucher Cluster program. Name, address, and telephone of Housing Authority contact person: KayLee Rosgen, Manager, Business and Finance 1212 Fair St., Clarkston, WA 99403 (509) 758-5751 ext. 4 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Housing Authority does concur with the State Auditor’s Office finding that the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) requirements are to follow up with the landlord if any life-threatening deficiencies are identified during an inspection. The requirement states that “If a deficiency is life-threatening, the owner (landlord) must correct the deficiency within 24 hours of notification” (24 CFR 982.404(a)(3)). The Housing Authority’s corrective action plan moving forward includes the following: • Reviewing HQS/NSPIRE standards with current staff assigned to performing and processing Section 8 inspections during a monthly meeting • Implement internal controls that ensure all life-threatening deficiencies are identified and all required notifications are made • Review all parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and PIH notices distributed by HUD monthly that pertain to HQS/NSPIRE inspection standards • All pertinent staff will take the next NSPIRE Inspection Standards training (all inspectors and Section 8 Occupancy Specialist) • Updating our process to include the use of a new inspection checklist that separately identifies life-threatening deficiencies, as well as using a new form to document attempts to contact the landlord and the date the deficiency is resolved The Housing Authority acknowledges that we lacked the appropriate internal controls to identify and notify the landlords of any life-threatening deficiencies that must be corrected within 24 hours. With this corrective action plan in place as of September 9, 2024, the Housing Authority feels that we are on track to comply with the requirements set forth by HUD and any relevant CFRs.

Plan of Action: The Authority agrees with this finding. Prior to audit, the Authority had begun taking steps to correct this issue after an internal audit of tenant files determined that Rent Reasonableness documentation was missing. The steps that have been take are: 1. Employees were made aware of the issue, and training was provided to ensure that rent reasonable was reviewed and documented. 2. The use of a check list was developed to ensure the rent reasonableness steps and documentation has been performed and included in the tenant file. Going forward additional steps to ensure correction of the finding have been added. Two lines have been added to the check list. The first line is for the Eligibility Specialist to initial that all steps in the checklist have been performed and documented. The next line is for the HCV Specialist to initial that they have received the file and reviewed it to make sure that all steps of the checklist have been completed and documented within the file.
