DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY PUBLIC HEALTH 2023-003 WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – Assistance Listing No. 10.557 Action taken in response to the finding: The Department and the WIC Nutrition Program will have all fiscal staff review the Operating Procedures to refresh themselves of the procedures surrounding Purchase Orders and Expenditures. (Excerpt from Operating Procedures) All Staff should complete a “Request for Purchase” form with all pertinent information such as quotes, renewal notices, conference registration, etc. and submit it to supervisor or Director for initial approval. Once the request is approved, the form is given to a fiscal staff to start the process of encumbering funds through MMARS and preparing a PURCHASE ORDER. At the very least, staff will identify that the service performed is correct and that funds are available and already encumbered to process the payment. All federal payments require a Program Code, and so the fiscal staff need to be sure the appropriate one is entered based on the dates of service or the date of the Purchase Order. Once all documents have been uploaded and submitted, then either the WIC State Director or the Fiscal Director will need to electronically approve the transaction in the Tracking System. The Fiscal Director and the State Director will more thoroughly review the assignment of Program Codes as they pertain to the Federal grant award dates before approving payment documents. This review will involve verifying: • The type of service • Date of service or receipt of item • Date of Purchase Order • Program Codes Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Beverly Andrew and Rachel Colchamiro Planned completion date for corrective action plan: April 30, 2024

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of the Treasury Federal Program Name: Coronavirus State and Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: K3422 & K3724 - 2021 Pass-Through Agency: Washington State Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Number(s): E128H7X5KWX5 Award Period: 7/1/21-6/30/23; 11/19/21-6/30/23 Type of Finding: • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Section III – Findings and Questioned Costs – Major Federal Programs Condition: Harvest Against Hunger allocates costs to the program based on the available funding and number of employees working on the project. They do not use the timesheet to record the operating hours for the program, but rather management makes a judgmental decision based on their understanding of program operations during the payroll period. Questioned costs: None Cause: The Organization lacks documentation supporting the allocation determination used to determine payroll amounts charged to the major program. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the finding. Criteria or specific requirement: Per §200.303, non-Federal entities must "establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non- Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statues, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal awards." Additionally, non-Federal entities must charge salaries and wages "based on records that accurately reflect the work performed" (§200.430(i)). Effect: Without proper documentation of the payroll allocation used, the Organization could charge time to a federal program that does not reflect true expenditures incurred by that program. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeated finding. Recommendation: The Organization should implement policies for consistently determining time allocation to the federal program, and ensure internal controls help to ensure this allocation is correct and consistently documented

Finding: 2023-009 Inadequate Request for information New Medicaid Supervisor started 6/1/23 & has put new procedures in place & training of staff to eliminate the errors that occurred during the audit. All cases are reviewed before being processed to make sure the worker has worked the case properly & if not immediate feedback, staffing & 2nd party review form is provided to the worker. Due to COVID & the State continuing cases this resulted in 15 of 35 of our errors. Of the 20 left, one is from 2018 due to the claim being paid in 2023 for a date of service of 2018. The other 19 relate to a current recert, however, review shows these were still worked prior to new supervisor & new procedures put into place. New staff has been brought in & are being trained one-on-one. It is anticipated that it will take 6 months - 1 year to get the new workers completely trained in their program. Team also has a pending new hire. Staffing cases & 2nd party reviews will continue indefinitely. Lots of errors came from the worker not running TWN. New process includes when the recert is started the workers is to run OVS, AVS & TWN. This is checked during 2nd party that all were started the same day. Workers are being taught that they are to upload their documents in NCFast at review/app & hard copy files are being eliminated to risk being lost.

For cases related to property resource entered incorrectly, previous supervisor instructed staff to enter the replacement value & not the tax value. This is being fixed as cases are being touched by the worker. New workers are being taught to review eligibility check to make sure income/resources are calcuating properly before processing.

We noted that the eligibility files did not include the required documentation. Recommendation: Provide additional staff training to ensure that HAWC’s internal control procedures that require review of client files are followed. Planned corrective action: Management will conduct additional refresher training for staff. An updated policy was put in place in March 2024 during the Apricot Database Migration.
