VCI?s Action Plan will include the following: 1) We will deduct the amount of the stipend paid to the former volunteer from the federal expenses charged to the grant. This will remove the funds allocated to the grant by AmeriCorps. 2) VCI will not credit these funds to the non-federal line item, thereby ensuring that these monies are not allocated towards the required non-federal match. 3) To ensure that this does not occur again, VCI has implemented the following changes to our income verification process: a. FGP staff have been instructed to ensure that medical deductions do not exceed AmeriCorps guidelines. b. The FGP manager has been instructed to review Income Verifications as they arrive and not set them aside until they have all been collected. Holding all verification forms until they are all completed causes a bottleneck that slows down catching volunteers who may be over income. c. Once the FGP manager has reviewed the forms, they are then turned over to the Office Assistant for another review. Once the Office Assistant completes her review, they are given to the Executive Director for a final audit. d. The Executive Director will then conduct his/her audit in more timely manner than he did in 2022. 4) VCI is confident this issue will not occur in the future as our staff are much more cognizant of the importance of this process.
