Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over TANF client child support sanction procedures needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management’s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: The Department disagrees with this finding. The audit objective identified in the Compliance Supplement is to "Determine whether, after notification by the state Title IV-D agency, the TANF agency has taken necessary action to reduce or deny TANF assistance." One of the two suggested audit procedures is to "Test a sample of cases referred by the Title IV-D agency to the TANF agency to ascertain if benefits were reduced or denied as required." The Department spent a lot of time and effort attempting to validate for OSA that it had a testable population, and the Department believes that the Office of State Auditor can perform this procedure either with the DSER-provided report of referrals or with that report in conjunction with the additional material (including active sanction activity within the fiscal year as provided by OFI) the Department has pulled and analyzed for OSA. In the absence of that review nothing in the Department’s records, data, or discussions with OSA could reasonably be interpreted to suggest a “significant deficiency” in its Internal Controls over this aspect of the TANF program. There has not been any evidence that referrals made from DSER to OFI are getting lost, ignored, or misapplied.

Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over SNAP EBT card security needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management’s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: The Department agrees with this finding. During the audit period, the process for handling returned EBT cards was assigned to one (1) individual. In response to a prior year finding, the Department implemented corrective actions effective July 1, 2024. The current process has the duties separated into 3 roles. First, an Accounting Associate I receives the returned EBT cards at OFI's Central Office. The Accounting Associate scans the card and envelope to an Office Associate II in a separate office. The Office Associate II enters the cards into a spreadsheet (returned card log) and researches the cases to determine what to do with the card. The Office Associate records the necessary information into the returned card log and makes an ACES case note to reflect any action taken. Then a response is sent back to the Accounting Associate to advise which EBT cards should be shredded and which cards should be resent. Finally, the EBT Manager conducts a periodic review of the returned card log to ensure the cards are being handled appropriately. The Department will also be hiring a new Office Associate II (Supervisor) to assist in this process. Because these procedures were implemented effective 7/1/2024, they were not captured during this single audit. No corrective action is required due to our current procedures meeting state and Federal card security requirements.
