Finding Number: 2024-002 Finding Title: Eligibility - METS Program: 93.778 Medical Assistance Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Quinn Jaeger, Social Services Director Mikala Wodarek, Social Services Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: Clay County Social Services acknowledges the audit finding that in 2 of the 40 METS Medical Assistance eligibility case files reviewed, required documentation was either missing or not properly recorded. To address this, all eligibility workers will receive refresher training on documentation standards, with a focus on citizenship and income verification requirements. The lead worker for this program will conduct random case reviews monthly, in addition to 3 case reviews for each worker around their annual performance evaluation. These case reviews will be reviewed with the worker thoroughly, coaching provided if necessary, and any errors found will be corrected. The supervisor will retain these case reviews and analyze them for patterns and provide team training and guidance as appropriate. For staff with repeated errors, performance management will be enacted in the form of verbal coaching, performance improvement plans, etc. In addition, annual training on eligibility documentation, specifically around citizenship status, will be added to the Division's training plan. Progress will be tracked through internal audits and summarized for leadership review. These actions are intended to ensure all required documentation is properly obtained, verified, and recorded in METS, thereby strengthening internal controls, reducing the risk of ineligible individuals receiving benefits, and improving future audit compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: Refresher training for eligibility workers and thorough review of 2024 audit findings both individually and as a group: completed on August 7, 2025 Case reviews by lead worker: Already implemented at the time of this writing and ongoing Review and reporting to leadership: Beginning January 1, 2026 and ongoing Annual training incorporated into department plan: Effective December 1, 2025

Contact Person: William Bane Management’s Response: Management acknowledges that there were not sufficient controls in place to ensure written consent from HUD prior to incurring new debt or lease arrangements. Four of the five leases in question were all entered into and approved by individuals no longer with the organization and without prior knowledge of hospital finance personnel. Current Management had previously established controls to ensure written consent is obtained prior to incurring any new debt or lease arrangements, but these arrangements were not caught before being signed. The HUD loan was retired and refinanced with another financial institution during 2024 so this will not be an issue going forward. Completion Date: September 23, 2025

The initial eligibility determinations are currently handled by the HCV department and are centralized. It has been determined that considerable investment in staff training has been made during the past twelve months. As a result, there has been staff turnover, some at the decision of TGHA, and some at the decision of staff. Initial eligibility is currently being restructured with an emphasis on new admissions. All procedures and processes are being evaluated for accuracy, with emphasis on the noted area of noncompliance and includes a complete review and update to the Administrative Plan. There will be increased staff training and file review. In July 2024, TGHA transitioned project-based files from a property management team to the Housing Choice Voucher Department. The files had not been electronically stored. Evidence pointed to deficiencies in file maintenance. TGHA has hired temporary staff for an extended period to focus on file organization and to correct documentation deficiencies. All HCV staff have completed Rent Calculation courses provided by NAHRO or Nan McKay during the fiscal year. There have been two managers hired for the department, one exclusively for project-based vouchers. Both attended NAHRO supervisory training in September. There will be an intensive focus on program integrity throughout the programs, including staff capability, training and monitoring. TGHA has contracted with a professional recruiter to assist in hiring a Director of the HCV and MTW programs. Recertification transactions will be monitored on a monthly basis. This will include validation of calculations and verification of correct documentation. TGHA files were fully in order by July 2025.

Corrective Action Plan Xavier complies with the loan disbursement notification rules. During the audit we learned that, while our system was sending the emails to each student with a loan disbursement, our process for copying each individual email to xufinaid was not functioning. Further, the notification report was being overwritten daily, causing us to lose the audit trail for these notifications. We have implemented two steps to be able to document each individual email. 1. The xufinaid@xavier.edu email address is copied on every disbursement notification and each notification email is delivered into the xufinaid inbox in Outlook. Every Wednesday those emails are moved by financial aid personnel into a folder in Outlook where they remain stored. This weekly review allows personnel to know in a timely manner if there are issues with the email delivery process. 2. A log file which saves a list of the disbursement notification emails is saved on a daily basis. It includes the content of each email.
