Corrective Action Plan: Due to a sudden and unanticipated staffing shortage, R2T4 calculations were performed beyond the required timeframe. A staff member has been hired and one of their main tasks is to do R2T4 Calculations. We reached out to the faculty to get the last day of academic related engagement. In cases where we are unable to get the last day of academic related engagement, the federal guidelines allow schools to use the midpoint of the payment period for the R2T4 calculations. All policies and procedures relating to R2T4 processing have been reviewed and updated, and a review of all prior year calculations will be performed as well, to ensure compliance. Additional staff have been hired and trained in the process, and calculations are being performed. Adequate and trained staff will ensure that all required calculations are performed accurately, and according to required timelines. In addition, the Financial Aid Office has transitioned from SAM to the Colleague Financial Aid System (starting in 2024-25) which will provide a more automated and integrated process, with enhanced internal controls.

Corrective Action Plan: These initial Pell overpayments were incurred in the “early” Pell disbursements that occurred a week before the semester started and the first two weeks of the semester. The enrollment was reported correctly, but part of the issue was the current FA system (SAM) was not programmed to adjust the amount disbursed based on the student’s current enrollment at the time of disbursement. For the Spring 2024 semester, testing was done on SAM to disburse aid based on current enrollment for the early Spring 2024 disbursements. This change reduced the amount in overpayments if students drop below ½ time for the semester, or withdrew completely. In addition, the Financial Aid Office transitioned from SAM to the Colleague Financial Aid System (starting in 2024-25). Colleague is already programmed to disburse aid based on current enrollment status, so this will not be a recurring issue in the future. Early Disbursement and Overpayment Notes: • For Fall 2023 semester, the first early Pell disbursement was based on 25% of a student’s semester award based on full-time enrollment. If a student is currently enrolled ½-time or higher when this disbursement is processed, they will receive the 25% award amount. If a student is enrolled in less than ½-time status (.5 units to 5.5 units), they will receive a $500 Pell disbursement to account for the lower Pell grant award for less than ½-time students. • For Spring 2024 semester, after testing in SAM, we were able to disburse the early disbursements based on the current enrollment before Census which lowered the overpayment amount significantly. • We understand students add/drop courses through the first two weeks of the semester. The final Pell grant award for the semester is adjusted to the student’s enrollment status on Census day. Students who are ½-time or higher at Census will not be a Pell overpayment for the semester since their Pell grant award will be at 50% or higher. • For students who were enrolled at ½-time or higher at the time the early disbursement was processed, but then dropped to less than ½-time or withdrew completely by Census day, they will be considered a Pell overpayment. o These types of overpayments are unavoidable. o Example: Currently, if a student is scheduled a $500 disbursement for the early 25% disbursement, and is enrolled ½ time, they will receive $500. With the change to actual enrollment (1/2 time for this case), the student will receive $250 instead of $500. If the student drops below 1/2-time or withdraws completely by census, the highest overpayment amount will be $250 instead of $500.

Michigan Reconnect Expansion Refund Calculation Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The student development fees and the technology fees that were required to be included in the scholarship refund calculation were missed for one student. As a result of this condition, one refund calculation for the grant was incorrect, resulting in an underpayment of $752. It is our understanding that on December 16, 2024, the College refunded this amount to the U.S. Department of Treasury for those affected by this calculation error. Auditor Recommendation. Management has already taken appropriate corrective action by updating the returns for the student impacted by the refund calculation error. However, we recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure that any correction is being reviewed by an independent second individual. Corrective Action. The College has performed the necessary steps to correct the error and will amend the refund calculation process to ensure that a second individual is reviewing the work performed.

Michigan Reconnect Expansion Calculation Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The College’s review process for the Michigan Reconnect Grant scholarships is performed by manually reviewing a select group of students before funds are disbursed. Two students who were not a part of this selected group had tuition costs mistakenly included with their fees. As a result of this condition, two students’ scholarship calculations were incorrect, resulting in an overpayment of $3,054 to those students. It is our understanding that on October 30, 2024, the College completed the F4F Reconnect refund worksheet and mailed a check with the amount to be returned to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College follow the review processes they have in place and include formal documentation showing the preparer is a separate individual from the reviewer. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the Michigan Reconnect Expansion calculation error, the College went through and made corrections to all student accounts affected. To prevent a similar problem arising in the future, the College has modified their review process to now require two signoffs, one to document the preparer and one to document the reviewer.

Cost of Attendance Input Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. There was an input error in the summer transportation component of the cost of attendance calculation. Instead of the on-campus students being designated with their own rate ($405), it was instead set to "All students 2023-2024." As a result of this condition, eight students received more aid than they were eligible to receive, resulting in loan adjustments of $2,858. It is our understanding that on September 23, 2024, the College updated and sent the changes to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure the inputs used in the cost of attendance determination are accurate and that the COA calculation is being reviewed by an independent second individual. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the cost of attendance input error, the College went back through all summer non-on-campus students to determine if their aid was greater than it should have been and made updates to the COD system, as necessary.

The finding was the result of a data entry oversight made by human error in the Oral Health service category for the September 2024 Ryan White billing to Dallas County. While our Dallas County Ryan White billings are currently calculated under a unit cost method, effective March 1, 2025 our contracts will be on cost reimbursement. Although we will implement the action plan to ensure our records of units are accurate, beginning March 1st there will be no financial correlation between the number of units we report to, and the amount of the reimbursement we receive from, Dallas County. New data validity review points designed to identify possible anomalies will be incorporated into the agency’s procedures with increased review by the Ryan White Program Director. The number of per‐client services received will be compared to parameters established with program managers as representing an unusual number of units received per client/patient per service date and per month. Units exceeding these parameters will be reviewed and corrected, if necessary. The review will be conducted monthly and prior to submission of Dallas County billings. The Ryan White Program Director, Del Wilson, will be in charge of implementing the corrective action plan changes. We hope to implement this plan by March 10, 2025, but before any further billings of service units to Dallas County.
