Vendor?s eligibility was reviewed but not formally documented. A spreadsheet will be documented when vendor?s eligibility are reviewed. Babette L. Donlon District Treasurer 1/23

Management response/corrective action plan: The corrective action to prevent inaccurate lunch counts going forward is to use the NutriKids Point of Sale system we have in place for the school nutrition program. It was not used in FY22, as we were operating under the Summer Feeding Program due to COVID. Meals were counted manually using a tick system and entered into a spreadsheet for claiming. The use of the Point of Sale system requires that each child be accounted for by name/identification number, and counts will be provided electronically rather than manually.

Finding: An Administrative Review for Dierks School District was completed by the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, Child Nutrition Unit (DESE, CNU) in February 2022. The review noted the high school meal counts for breakfast and lunch were not consolidated and daily rosters for lunch at the elementary school were inaccurately counted on the January 2022 claim for reimbursement. This resulted in an under claim of $3,354 for breakfast and $12,494 for lunch. In addition, the review noted the District was talking lunch counts in the classroom prior to the lunch service rather than at the point of service. During our examination of the March and May 2022 claims for reimbursement, we noted the number of meals reported was overstated by 34 for breakfast and 42 for lunch resulting in a combined over claim of $280. The District will thoroughly review the data during the posting of monthly account eligibility reports and daily record forms to the monthly claim for reimbursement.

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2022 State Agency: Department of Social Services (DSS) ? Family Support Division (FSD) Audit Finding Number: 2022-005 ? Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Food Benefits Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Elizabeth Roberts-Smith Anticipated completion date for corrective action: Completed Recommendation: The DSS through the FSD strengthen internal controls to ensure P-EBT program benefit issuances are in accordance with the state plan, and review and correct the overpayments for the children identified in this finding. DSS Response: The DSS agrees with this finding. The DSS agrees that the two children identified in the report were incorrectly issued benefits. Recognizing the complexity for families seeking to appropriately access the benefit, the process by which school children are determined eligible and issued P-EBT benefits was modified in the state plan submitted by the State of Missouri to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for the 2021-2022 school year. The P-EBT state plan for the 2021-2022 school year was approved by FNS on June 6, 2022. Eligibility for P-EBT is now determined at the individual child level based on COVID-related absences and qualification for federal free and reduced lunch benefits. For the 2021-2022 school year, local education authorities (LEA?s) submit lists of students determined eligible to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). DESE then submits the approved eligibility file to DSS with the name of each eligible child and the amount of benefit to be issued on a P-EBT card. DSS then issues the benefit. Corrective Action is as follows: DSS has reviewed the overpayments and referred the children identified in this finding to the Missouri Program Integrity Unit (PIU) for claims processing, if the funds can be recovered. This is outlined in the FNS approved Missouri P-EBT state plan.
