Since fiscal year 2020-21, EDD has implemented dozens of strict anti-fraud measures to continue to evaluate and enhance its fraud detection. These measures, described in last year’s response to finding Reference Number 2020-005, included, but were not limited to, cross matching claimant information against law enforcement and government databases and implementing rigorous new identity verification procedures. As a result, EDD caught and stopped multiple fraud attempts starting in September 2020. As previously described, EDD implemented the following measures to address the nationwide fraud attempts perpetrated against the new emergency federal benefit programs in 2020-21: • Implemented additional cross-matches in September 2020 to detect multiple claims per address. • Ceased automatically backdating Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) claims under federal rules in September 2020. • Strengthened identity verification procedures in October 2020 by implementing ID.me. • Implemented additional cross-matches in November 2020 against state inmate information. • Vetted applications against law enforcement databases and other tools provided by Thomson Reuters in December 2020 to further curb identity and non-identity fraud. • Established a 1099-G call center to help victims of identity theft deal with any tax-related questions. • Ceased printing Social Security numbers on mailed documents to reduce identity theft risk. • Enhanced benefit card security with Bank of America. • Partnered with state, local and federal law enforcement agencies to support thousands of criminal investigations, arrests, prosecutions and convictions. The EDD will continue to evaluate and enhance the fraud detection/prevention tools that have been put in place.

The Women, Infants, and Children Division (WIC) of the California Department of Public Health (Public Health) agrees that the WIC WISE system does not currently store eligibility history that should be included in the “Cert History Report.” Currently, the initial eligibility data is overwritten when subsequent eligibility information is keyed into WIC WISE. WIC WISE does include preventative internal stops or check points that do not allow ineligible individuals to be certified and issued benefits (e.g., over income, not a CA resident, no nutrition risk factor, etc.). User acceptance testing vetted these items prior to system implementation. The certification history condition will be remediated via a system Defect Correction to WIC WISE. WIC has entered Defect Correction #6972 in Team Foundation Services (TFS), the tracking system used to capture system changes and defects. This correction is included in a release that is currently being tested and is targeted for release into production by May 2023. The defect supports a system change to ensure initial eligibility information is retained when subsequent eligibility information is entered into WIC WISE.

Condition Supporting expense workbooks provided by management did not agree with certain amounts reported in the PRF portal reporting form. Additionally, certain expenses reported were related to direct patient care costs and management was unable to provide sufficient supporting documentation the amounts were related to providing care to COVID-19 patients. This resulted in the auditors reporting total questioned costs of $911,136. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions Management does not agree with the noted finding. The Health Center feels as though costs incurred did qualify under the provision of being prepared and treating COVID positive, and suspected COVID patients. The Health Center does have amounts that could have been reported as lost revenues that would cover some of the questioned costs. The Health Center was unable to include the lost revenue amounts in the original submission because the website did not allow submission of lost revenues if enough costs were reported to cover the PRF funds received.

The recommendation of the auditor was for the Houston Housing Authority to review its existing internal control procedures to ensure that data is properly recorded in the books and records to prevent misstatements from occurring in the future. l he Houston Housing Authority agrees with this finding and related recommendations. During the audit, as these issues arose, notes were taken, evaluation of what had happened was made so that we could make the necessary adjustments to our procedures to prevent the continuation of these issues. In addition, we hired a firm to come in and undertake a review of the finance department. The purpose of this review was to review our existing staffing levels, workloads, experience, etc., for purposes of proposing a reorganization of the finance department to address any deficiencies. We have reviewed the recommendations from this consultant and are in the process of implementing many of the recommended changes. As we continue to work on getting all past due audits completed we are working very diligently to address the issues within the finance department that gave rise to this finding. We fully expect the finding to be present for the 2022 audit as many of the departmental improvements and changes were not made prior to 2023 so would not have been in practice during 2022. Our audit delinquencies commenced with the 2019 audit being delayed in part due to the COVID pandemic. We also determined in the completion of the 2019 audit that it was in the best interest of HHA to terminate our relationship with the prior auditor and procure a new audit firm. The completion of the 2021 audit will be our second audit wrapped up with the new audit firm. We are confident that the changes we have made and will continue to make will ensure that future prepared by the Houston Housing Authority will be in better condition than those for the 2021 audit. existing internal control procedures to ensure that data is properly recorded in the books and records to prevent misstatements from occurring in the future.

Lack of Internal Controls Over the Application of the Sliding Fee Scale Condition: The Organization lacks consistently applied processes and procedures related to the application of the sliding fee scale. The Organization also lacks a clear review process related to the sliding fee scale to identify errors quickly to allow for corrections to be made in a timely manner. Corrective Action Planned: The Organization has hired a new Chief Financial Officer as well as additional supporting staff within the finance department. The Organization’s policies for the sliding fee scale were recently updated during fiscal year 2022, by management, based on findings during the monitoring by HRSA performed in 2022, but management will consider discussing potential improvements to their policy with the grantor to potentially update it to allow for certain exceptions. The Organization will also consider discussing the agreement with the local school district in more detail with the grantor to either structure their policies to allow for these visits to have different requirements or to see if the grantor would be willing to provide a waiver with regards to theses visits not being technically in compliance with other regular clinic visits.
