PRPHA has a provider with vast experience in this program and is currently serving other government authorities in the mainland that are entitled with this program. We have assured that they are following the regulations that are set forth by the Treasury Department. However, because of the short period of time that we have had this program in Puerto Rico we have had to adapt the practices that have been adopted in the other agencies as the formal procedures as a start up implementation. We are establishing more procedures as the program evolves in the island. This is an on going action plan.

2024-001: Special Tests and Provisions – Student Financial Assistance Cluster Management’s view and corrective action plan Management concurs with the audit findings related to the disbursement of loan funds, verification of financial aid applications and return of Title IV funds. These findings are directly attributed to the challenge of maintaining staffing levels. The Student Financial Aid Office became fully staffed in March 2025. Management will implement enhanced controls and training are required within the Student Financial Aid office. Additionally, management concurs with the following audit findings pertaining to noncompliance with enrollment reporting requirements for 20 of the 25 sampled. Management will implement enhanced controls and additional dedicated resources are required within the Registrar’s Office in order to monitor and assure compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, efforts will be employed to monitor and confirm the timely and accurate submission of information from the National Student Clearinghouse to the NSLDS. Furthermore, the procedural and training enhancements of the Financial Aid and Registrar’s Offices, as well as their resource plans, will be reviewed and approved by the Office of Internal Audit. Implementation date: September 2025 Raelynn Cooter, PhD Vice Provost for Academic Infrastructure and Effectiveness.

We concur with this finding. Last year the school implemented a significant upgrade to its student information system, Banner. The transition to Banner SaaS was difficult and resulted in significant breakdowns in operations that are slowly recovering, and efforts are underway to implement modifications to ensure smooth operations. This, along with omissions on our part resulted in noncompliance with the reporting requirements. We will going forward, institute timely submissions to meet the requirements, while we continue to work with our vendors in fixing the software issues that produce the required reports.

We concur with the audit finding regarding the need to ensure disbursement reporting is completed within the required 15-day threshold. As stated, of the 40 disbursements selected for testing, one disbursement was reported late. The instance noted was an isolated case that occurred during the institution's transition to a new system platform. We recognize the importance of timely reporting to maintain compliance with federal regulations. Corrective Action: The Office of Student Financial Services has reinforced existing procedures to ensure that all disbursement data—specifically the disbursement date and amount—is accurately reviewed, recorded, and reported within 15 calendar days of the disbursement being made. This process is effective immediately. Additional Monitoring Measures: 1. A designated financial aid team member will conduct weekly reviews of all disbursement records to verify timely reporting. 2. A monthly reconciliation report will be generated to confirm that all disbursements made during the month have been reported within the required timeframe. 3. The Executive Director of Financial Aid will review the monthly reconciliation reports and certify compliance. 4. Calendar alerts have been implemented to prompt staff of upcoming reporting deadlines. Training and Accountability: 1. Staff responsible for disbursement reporting have been trained on the new system process for this federal requirement, which includes ongoing discussion with the Ellucian team as we continue to navigate Banner SaaS. 2. Ongoing monitoring and periodic internal audits will be conducted to ensure sustained compliance. The corrective action plan has been fully implemented and is currently in effect. We are committed to maintaining compliance with all federal regulations governing financial aid disbursements.

The Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) agrees that for fiscal year 2024 it did not complete Federal Funding Accountability & Transparency Act (FFATA) uploads timely. DMHAS maintains written FFATA policies and procedures, and it is compliant with its SSA SFY 2023 Corrective Action Plan (CAP) which included a January 1, 2025 implementation date. However, DMHAS was unable to comply timely with the FFATA reporting requirements due to competing reporting requirements, in conjunction with the volume of data and effort required. In addition to the significant progress DMHAS reported in the FY 2023 CAP update provided below, DMHAS accomplished the following: On October 21, 2024, DMHAS on boarded a full-time FFATA Analyst dedicated to FFATA data collection and uploads. On October 23 and October 29, 2024, DMHAS conducted training for the FFATA analyst. On or about January 29, 2025 and February 3, 2025, in an effort to demonstrate its proficiency and show its good faith efforts to comply, DMHAS uploaded all SUPTRS SFY23 and SFY24 Test Contracts (FAIN ending 5822) for the SSA SFY 2024. On or about February 3, 2025 and February 19, 2025, in an effort to demonstrate its proficiency and show its good faith efforts to comply, DMHAS uploaded all SOR SFY23 and SFY24 (FAIN ending 5743) Test Contracts for the SSA SFY24. Thereafter, DMHAS completed the following uploads: • February 27, 2025 – SOR FAIN ending 5743 – remaining contracts (outside of the SSA24 Test group) up to the FSRS ceiling (which limits data entry to forty (40) pages and UEIs. • March 4, 2025 – SUPTRS FAIN ending 7054 – all contracts uploaded. • March 6, 2025 – SOR FAIN ending 7774 – all contracts (into FSRS prior to migration) • March 6, 2025 – SUPTRS FAIN ending 5822 - remaining contracts (outside of the SSA24 Test group) up to the FSRS ceiling (which limits data entry to forty (40) pages and UEIs. On January 22, 2025, the DMHAS Compliance Quality Assurance Specialist who helps monitor FFATA compliance completed the federal SAM.gov training. On March 5, 2025, the DMHAS FFATA Analyst completed the federal SAM.gov training. DMHAS remains committed to FFATA compliance, is prioritizing FFATA reporting, and is making a good faith effort to comply. However, DMHAS notes various federal issues outside of the State’s control that are causing delays and increasing administrative burden. More specifically, uploads that predated the conversion from FSRS to Sam.gov were limited by a system error so DMHAS was precluded from entering all contracts/UEIs. In addition, FAINs are missing from SAM.gov, thus precluding the submission of the corresponding uploads. DMHAS is documenting the upload limitations and missing FAINs, along with its continued efforts to overcome the various obstacles outside of its control.

The Department of Human Services’ Division of Family Development (DHS/DFD) acknowledges the audit finding regarding the required submission of Subaward to the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). One of the primary factors that contributed to non-compliance was system inefficiencies in the FSRS, which led to challenges in tracking, reporting and ensuring data accuracy. With the transition of Subaward reporting from FSRS to sam.gov, the DHS/ DFD expects this change to be beneficial in developing effective internal controls and procedures, addressing past compliance challenges and creating a sustainable reporting framework.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) recognizes the need to strengthen its monitoring of Subaward reporting requirements to ensure timely reporting. To address this, the agency is already in the process of updating its policies and procedures to enhance oversight and compliance. As part of the policy updates, the DCA is assigning designated staff to track Subaward issuance and reporting. This ensures clear accountability and improves oversight of reporting requirements. The DCA is working to integrate automated reminders and alerts into its process to notify designated staff of upcoming Subaward reporting deadlines. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of missed reporting obligations. The DCA is working to establish a process for conducting periodic compliance reviews to assess adherence to FFATA Subaward reporting requirements. This review will help identify potential issues early and allow for timely corrective actions. To reinforce FFATA compliance, the DCA is working to implement a training initiative to ensure designated staff are knowledgeable about FFATA requirements and the importance of timely reporting. Regular communication efforts will further promote awareness and adherence to reporting deadlines.

The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD) transitioned from a manual contract agreement process to a web-based grant administration system that employs the System for Administering Grants Electronically (SAGE) and IntelliGrants (IGX) applications. The DLWD FFATA Reporting Unit has access to these automated systems and monitors them monthly to identify when new Subaward contracts/agreements are approved to report the required data in the FFATA system. DLWD corrective actions regarding FFATA reporting were fully implemented as of June 30, 2024.

The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD) continues to monitor workloads for both first payment and non-monetary time lapse measurements. Identity verification remains an issue with a segment of the claim population, and delays with claimants completing their ID verification has a direct bearing on first payment and non-monetary time lapse. DLWD will continue to work on improving communications around the importance of timely verifying ID and provide assistance to claimants that may be struggling with this process. DLWD has been working with USDOL to expand identity verification options and expects the new process to be in full production by June 30, 2025. It will allow claimants to report to any USPS Post Office for an in-person ID verification. This additional in-person option to complete ID verification provides greater flexibility for claimants to complete this requirement, especially those that struggle with the digital verification process that DLWD currently uses. We expect the new process to have a positive impact on time lapse scores and overall improvement for these metrics. Most recent time lapse figures showed that for the period November 2024 through February 2025, combined non-monetary time lapse exceeded the 80% ALP for each month.

Community Service Society (the Society) requires its subrecipients to submit their financial and progress program reports fifteen days after the end of the reporting period. This is done so that the Society can review the underlying documentation in those reports to ensure that proper payments are made to the subrecipients and, in turn, proper and timely reports are filed by the Society with the State of New York. There are instances when, because of delays in receipt of information from the subrecipients, or information from the subrecipients needs to be revised, reports are submitted late to the State of New York. The Society notifies the State of New York when reports will be submitted late. In addition, the Society is working with its subrecipients to improve their reporting procedures, as well as the timeliness and accuracy of their reports. This will result in the Society improving the timeliness of its reporting to the State of New York.
