Corrective Action Plan FINDING - 2025-001 - Federal Award Program Name: 93.958 Senior Services Criteria: Federal awards are required to be reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) when expenditures are incurred (2CFR Part 200). Condition: The Organization had a federal award received in a prior year that was not originally included on the SEFA. Cause of Condition: The Organization did not have adequate procedures in place to identify all federal awards and ensure they were properly reflected on the SEFA. Potential Effect of Condition: The Organization’s federal award expenditures not being included in the audited SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials: Management has acknowledged the finding and added the award expenditures to the SEFA. Corrective Action: The Controller will implement formal federal grant management policies and procedures to ensure all federal awards are properly identified, tracked, and reported on the SEFA in accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.502. Key actions include: - Developing and implementing a written federal grant and loan management policy, subject to Board approval. - Establishing and maintaining a centralized electronic repository of all federal grant and loan documentation, including key award details necessary for SEFA reporting. - Providing training to accounting and program staff responsible for identifying and tracking federal awards. - Performing quarterly reviews of the federal awards repository to ensure completeness and accuracy of information used in SEFA preparation. - The Controller will perform quarterly reviews, and the CFO will review and approve the completeness of the federal awards listing. Procedures will be implemented immediately and in place for the next SEFA reporting cycle.

Department of Health and Human Services: ParkTree Community Health Center (PCHC) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2025. Audit period: 01/1/25 – 12/31/25 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS Department of Health and Human Services 2025-01 Health Center Cluster– Assistance Listing No. 93.HCP Recommendation: CLA recommends that PCHC implement a second-level, independent review of demographic data and income verification information entered into the patient billing system to help ensure each patient’s sliding fee classification and corresponding discount is accurate. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Corrective Action Plan: ParkTree Community Health Center will implement a second-level independent review process for all new Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) applications and annual renewals. Under this process, demographic information, household income documentation, family size, and the assigned sliding fee classification will be independently verified by a designated supervisor or other qualified staff member before the sliding fee discount is finalized in NextGen. Front desk receptionists and enrollment staff receive ongoing training and best practice reminders to ensure that all SFDP applications and supporting documentation are completed accurately and in a timely manner. Management has also implemented a weekly internal review process to verify that applications are complete, that appropriate supporting documentation is retained in each patient's file, and that assigned sliding fee classifications are accurate and consistent with PCHC's Board-approved SFDP policies and procedures. In addition, periodic quality assurance reviews will continue to be conducted to monitor compliance, identify trends, and provide corrective coaching when discrepancies are identified. These enhanced controls are designed to strengthen internal controls, improve compliance with the SFDP, and help ensure that each patient's sliding fee classification and corresponding discount are accurately applied in NextGen. Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Alfonso Aguilera Planned Completion Date: December 31, 2026 If the U.S Department of Health and Human Services has any questions regarding this Corrective Action Plan, please contact Alfonso Aguilera at (909)-865-9501, Ext. 3970.

Auditor's Recommendation: Strengthen controls over eligibility determinations by requiring Program Managers to document and retain evidence of review and approval of all intake forms/applications before services are provided. Management should also implement periodic monitoring procedures to ensure review approvals are consistently documented and maintained for audit purposes. Management Response: ODI is diligent in understanding and implementing the steps necessary to review and collect the required documentation to determine client eligibility for programs. Due to the large number of clients serviced and the volume of documents collected and reviewed, many of the programs track eligibility via proprietary on line portals provided by the funders to capture and document the steps performed to determine eligibility. These portals automatically determine whether a client is eligible based on the information provided. The Program Managers see the client eligibility on the portal when they assign caseworkers to the clients, but there is no formal Program Manager signature provided or captured in the portal. Corrective Action: • Regarding the specific program 90ZQ(l}011-01-0 Support for Trauma-Affected Refugees (STAR} referenced in this finding, client eligibility is determined by requirements established by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR} that apply to other programs administered by ODI. To address the auditor's recommendation regarding this program, ODI will set up a procedure to review and retain documentation for clients entering the STAR program or who were referred from other ORR programs showing they are eligible to receive the STAR services. •Regarding the specific program ALSP23-0001 Afghan Legal Services Project (ALSP}, ODI has serviced, and is still servicing, approximately 500 clients. Although ODI asserts that it has and retains the documentation to demonstrate client eligibility for this program, to address the auditor's recommendation, ODI will set up a procedure to track and document that the program manager will approve. Responsible Personnel: Mao Vang, Health & SOT Program Director; Alyssa Eckels, ILS Program Director Implementation Date: Immediate implementation

Finding 2025-002: Insufficient Documentation of Management Review of Section 3 Quarterly and Annual Reporting Planned Corrective Action: Management concurs with the finding. Although the related grant concluded during fiscal year 2025, the City will implement procedures to ensure that future federal program reports, including any applicable Section 3 or similar compliance reports, are subject to documented management review and approval prior to submission. The procedures will require the preparer to provide each report and supporting documentation to City management for review, and evidence of approval, such as a signed review checklist, email approval, or electronic sign-off, will be retained in the grant files. The City Secretary will be responsible for ensuring that documented review and approval procedures are applied to future federal reporting requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: July 2026

Eligibility California Department of Health Care Services DHCS reinstated county performance standards effective June 1, 2024, through Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Letter (MEDIL 24-12) and issued All County Welfare Directors Letter (ACWDL) 24-17 on November 25, 2024. ACWDL notified counties DHCS would leverage data to monitor application processing times. The data will be used to select counties for focused reviews targeting application processing times and procedures to ensure counties are performing eligibility determinations timely and accurately. DHCS has implemented multiple monitoring activities to address the recommendation and strengthen oversight of county processing of Medi-Cal applications. In May 2024, DHCS issued Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Letter (MEDIL) 24-12, ending the temporary hold harmless provisions and resumed standard county performance accountability. Subsequently, DHCS issued ACWDL 24-17, which established the Department's transition to using system-generated eligibility data, rather than county self-certification, to monitor application timeliness. Under this approach, DHCS evaluates county performance using statewide eligibility data, publishes application timeliness performance through statewide dashboards, and uses the data to identify counties for focused reviews. Focused reviews evaluate both the timeliness and accuracy of county eligibility determinations. Counties that do not meet established performance expectations are subject to corrective actions consistent with the Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) section 14154 performance monitoring framework, including the application of statutory performance corrective action plans (CAPS), and financial penalties where applicable. Collectively, these actions establish an ongoing oversight process that enables DHCS to monitor county compliance with Medi-Cal application timeliness requirements, identify performance issues, require counties to implement corrective actions to address any deficiencies identified through focused reviews, and promote continued improvement in the timely and accurate processing of Medi-Cal applications. In 2025, DHCS issued MEDIL I 25-19, Reinstatement of the Aid Code Clean-Up Effort, which reinstated the Department's statewide process for identifying beneficiaries assigned to obsolete pre-Affordable Care Act (ACA) aid codes, transitional aid codes, or other records that may require reevaluation of eligibility. As part of this effort, DHCS provides counties with standardized reports on a bi-monthly basis to assist in identifying records that require review and action. Counties are required to review records, and either transition beneficiaries to the appropriate Medi-Cal aid code or discontinue eligibility, as applicable. Through the reinstated Aid Code Clean-Up process, DHCS performs ongoing statewide monitoring of aid code usage, identifies obsolete or inappropriate aid codes, and requires counties to take the appropriate action to ensure these beneficiaries are enrolled under the correct Medi-Cal aid category.

Special Tests and Provisions California Department of Public Health Public Health concurs with the finding that a portion of the federally-required Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) and Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) recertification surveys were not completed within the 15.9-month requirement. Public Health’s ability to meet survey workload was hindered by the nearly three-month federal shutdown, reduced staffing capacity due to budget constraints, and competing high-priority workloads. Surveys that were overdue in FFY 2024-25 have been prioritized in FFY 2025-26, focusing first on facilities presenting the highest risk and those with the longest intervals since their last survey. Public Health will continue prioritizing the highest-risk federal workload within the limits of available staffing and budget. The federal contract allotment has remained stagnant despite increased expectations, and reductions in state funding during SFY 2024-25 and continuing through SFY 2025-26 limit Public Health’s ability to backfill gaps with state resources. As a result, Public Health will focus surveyor efforts on Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) investigations, quality-of-care issues, access-to-careconcer, and Tier 1 workload (including SNFs and ICFs). This approach aligns with CMS’s shift toward prioritizing IJ and high-risk intakes over lower-tier recertification surveys. Public Health remains committed to completing all federal workload assignments and will strive to meet Mission and Priorities Document (MPD) and State Performance Standards Systems (SPSS) requirements to the fullest extent possible given current staffing and budget limitations.

Eligibility California Department of Health Care Services DHCS is currently in the process of reevaluating its Medi-Cal Eligibility Data System (MEDS) monitoring process by taking the following steps: Research and Data Collection - DHCS will initiate the revised MEDS alert hierarchy process by conducting targeted research. This effort will include obtaining the total number of records associated with each MEDS Alert, encompassing the entire universe of MEDS alerts. - As part of this research, DHCS will review the highest volume alerts and identify the root causes. County Staff Workgroup: DHCS will form a workgroup with County Staff to collaborate on refining the MEDS Alerts process. The objectives of this workgroup are to: - Determine whether certain alerts can be streamlined to improve efficiency. - Assess if additional functionality can be added to CalSAWS to address issues that lead to high volume alerts. - Develop strategies to ensure counties have sufficient support to resolve MEDS alerts both accurately and timely. Hierarchy Revision and Implementation - DHCS will use the findings from the research phase and the input provided by the workgroup to revise the MEDS Alerts Hierarchy and ACWDL. - The Program Review Branch will update the BI tool to incorporate all MEDS alerts that affect eligibility, and pertinent high-volume alerts. - We are considering amendments to WIC section 14154.5 to reflect any changes in calculating performance standards for MEDS alerts. - DHCS will postpone posting MEDS Alerts performance data to the public facing dashboard until the end of this process. DHCS does not resolve MEDS Alerts. The purpose of the above process is to reduce the number of MEDS alerts created because of caseworker action by providing additional guidance to counties and potentially adding functionality to CalSAWS that would reduce the number of alerts created due to system discrepancies. This is anticipated to reduce the number of MEDS alerts, which would ease the county staff workload and allow counties to better manage the MEDS alerts workload. Focused reviews will continue to assist the department in identifying counties that do not act upon newly reported information that negatively impacts eligibility. DHCS will require counties to submit a corrective action plan and emphasize implementing ongoing trainings to mitigate inappropriate continuation of benefits. DHCS will continue to monitor progress until the identified issues no longer persist. Estimated Implementation Date: June 2027 Contact - Sarah Crow, Medi-Cal Eligibility Division, Division Chief - Harold Higgins, Medi-Cal Eligibility Division, Branch Chief - Amy Halim, Medi-Cal Eligibility Division, Section Chief

Reporting California Department of Social Services CDSS will implement improved procedures and consider if a grant management solution would be feasible and necessary. CDSS has already begun establishing a process that determines and documents whether funding actions are reportable subrecipients or contractors. CDSS has also begun establishing a field within the CDSS accounting system that identifies subrecipients at the contract level so this data is automatically included when extracted for FFATA reporting, which will ensure reports are submitted accurately and timely. CDSS is also developing a Federal Reporting Dashboard to track all grants with FFATA reporting requirements, including due dates and completion status. Additionally, CDSS will designate a primary point and a backup person within the Federal Reporting Section to monitor all FFATA reporting deadlines. This designated staff member will issue 45 days advance notifications to the grant owner and reviewing manager, set calendar reminders for grant owners, and provide regular status updates to Accounting Management. To strengthen timely compliance, these reminders will also instruct grant owners to complete the FFATA submission 10 days before the federal deadline, ensuring sufficient time to resolve any errors that may occur during the upload process. Estimated Implementation Date: November 2026 Contact: - Rosali Bautista, Chief, Accounting and Reporting Bureau, Accounting and Fiscal Systems Branch, Finance and Accounting Division

Special Tests and Provisions Employment Development Department EDD has current policies, procedures, and training in place instructing employees to include applicable penalty amounts when establishing overpayments in the database. When the overpayment for the sample in question was established, the employee did not follow proper procedure to include the penalty. EDD accepts this oversight and is committed to reviewing its applicable policies and procedures to ensure they are clear, and the penalty requirements are emphasized. Regarding internal controls, EDD leverages a process known as the Field Office Basic Evaluation System (FOBES). This process includes a standardized form that is utilized by leadership to evaluate the quality of their employees’ work in a variety of processes, including overpayment processing. EDD continues to review and modernize the existing assessment form and FOBES process to ensure effectiveness and consistency while evaluating employee compliance with policies and procedures. EDD will enhance current procedures to outline the steps for reviewing claimant eligibility and applying disqualification penalties by: - Updating procedures in the various resources available for our determination false statement processes to include more comprehensive guidance. - Providing updated training for employees on any changes to procedures. Milestones: - Update UI Manuals by 8/14/2026. - Engage with UIB training team to update overpayment-related training and create a new refresher training by 8/14/2026. - Evaluate when a refresher training can be presented to determination trained employees by 8/14/2026. - Provide updated milestone to DOL by 9/30/2026. Estimated Implementation Date: September 2026 Contact: - Diane Underwood, Division Chief, Unemployment Insurance Branch

Reporting California Department of Education Partially Concur. The Department agrees that timely submission of FFATA reports is an important requisite. However, the circumstances that triggered the late submission were created by the control agency shifting to a new system without ensuring it met everyone’s needs, not by a lack of Department staffing or resources. Nevertheless, to strengthen existing procedures, the Department will review processes and determine if contingency procedures are appropriate and feasible. Management will also continue to monitor federal system changes, document implementation challenges, and maintain communication with federal agencies to ensure awareness of external system limitations that could affect reporting timelines. The Department will continue to work with the U.S. General Services Administration on automated reporting solutions to mitigate any future late submittals and to ensure timely submission of all FFATA reports. Estimated Implementation Date: September 30, 2026 Contact: - Yiping Hu, Accounting Administrator, Fiscal and Administrative Services Division

The Corporation contacted the local Continuum of Care and regional HUD office in an effort to verify the required number of units occupied by individuals meeting the definition of "homeless". The local Continuum of Care had no record of the original grant agreement or required number of "homeless" to be served. The Corporation contacted three staff in the regional HUD office, including the staff that had been our representative for annually renewed operation and support service grants for the project. Regional HUD staff were not able to provide a copy of the original grant agreements which would indicate the number of persons to be served by each project. HUD staff stated that they do not keep copies of grant agreements longer than seven years. Corporation management will continue to work with HUD personnel to determine the continuing compliance requirements of the Continuum of Care funding received for initial construction or rehabilitation. Corporation management will continue to serve individuals meeting the definition of homelessness at its project and document evidence in the files.

Finding Number: 2025-003 Name of Responsible Party: JaShawn Hill, Executive Director Corrective Action: Management acknowledges and agrees with the finding. This issue resulted from a reduction in force during which various employees’ final workday coincided with the end of a payroll period. While employees typically have around one week to submit their timesheets after the end of a pay period, the employees that were let go from the organization did not finalize their information before leaving. In the future, management will ensure that all timesheets are submitted on the final day of employment as a part of the last day procedures. Anticipated Completion Date: July 31, 2026

The Organization should implement an effective monitoring system to keep track of the compliance calendar, which includes financial reporting deadlines, and automatic reminders in advance of each deadline to aid in properly planning and timing submission of reporting packages. Additionally, the Organization should engage the audit firm well before the fiscal year end. The Organization should establish a timeline with the auditors that aligns with internal deadlines to ensure sufficient time to conduct the audit. Additionally, the Organization should implement a system that will file documents in an organized manner and make them easily accessible to the Organization and auditors. Furthermore, the Organization’s Board of Directors should be more actively engaged in the auditing and reporting process to establish a greater degree of accountability and oversight.

Finding 2025-005 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Public Housing Capital Fund Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.872 Noncompliance - C. Cash Management Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Cash Management Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.305, payment methods for federal awards must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of federal funds and the disbursement of those funds by the recipient. Federal funds drawn under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program should be limited to amounts needed to meet the Authority’s immediate cash requirements for allowable program expenditures. Accordingly, the Authority should implement procedures to ensure grant funds are not drawn in advance of actual or imminent eligible expenditures. Condition: The Authority drew down federal funds in advance of immediate cash needs for allowable program expenditures. As of year end, a portion of the funds drawn remained unexpended and was reported as unearned revenue in the financial statements. This indicates that federal funds were received prior to the incurrence of eligible expenditures. Context: During review of the financial statements, the Authority was noted to have unexpended federal funds on hand at year end that had been drawn prior to the disbursement of allowable program costs. Specifically, amounts recorded as unearned revenue represented federal funds received in advance of immediate cash needs. This condition was identified through review of drawdown activity, general ledger balances, and year end financial reporting records. Known Questioned Costs: $134,883. Cause: The Authority did not have adequate internal controls in place to monitor the timing of grant drawdowns in relation to actual program cash needs and allowable expenditures. As a result, federal funds were requested and received prior to the incurrence of eligible costs under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program. Effect: The Authority was not in compliance with federal cash management requirements governing the timing of federal fund drawdowns. As a result, federal funds were held in advance of immediate cash needs, increasing the risk of improper cash management and noncompliance with Uniform Guidance and HUD requirements. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority strengthen its internal controls over cash management to ensure federal funds are drawn only for immediate cash needs related to allowable program expenditures. Management should implement monitoring and review controls over grant drawdown activity, including periodic reconciliation of drawdowns to incurred expenditures, to ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200.305 and HUD requirements. Authority's Response: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The Authority will increase oversight in the Public Housing Capital Fund Program to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed on a timely basis. Ralph Staley, CFO is responsible for ensuring proper internal controls are in place to prevent significant deficiencies and material weaknesses from occurring and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.
