Corrective Action Plans

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADSEF is committed to a comprehensive transformation of our eligibility lifecycle. We are implementing a standardized, high-efficiency recertification model that accelerates the verification process while simultaneously enforcing strict compliance with all federal documentation requirements and cybersecurity protocols. Action Step: 1. Standardized SOPs & File Uniformity Implement a mandatory "TANF Case Management Handbook." This SOP mandates a uniform file legend and sequence for all regions, ensuring that evidence for Child Support, IRPs, and school attendance is consistently filed. 2. Revised Recertification Protocol Revise the recertification workflow to reduce processing times. This includes pre-filling eligibility renewal forms with existing data and automating the flagging of missing documents 30 days prior to the expiration of the 6-month certification period. 3. Mandatory Supervisory Review Supervisors will approve a verification checklist for every new case and recertification, confirming that all 11 required documents are present before benefit approval. 4. Continuous Training Initiative Launch a mandatory quarterly training for all staff on eligibility rules, the 60-month time limit tracking, and the legal consequences of improper benefit issuance IMPLEMENTATION DATE During Fiscal Year 2026-2027 RESPONSIBLE PERSON Blanca M.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS During Fiscal Year 2024, started to eliminate the use of Social Security Numbers as primary case identifiers and started to implement a system generated unique internal ID for all participants, strengthening adherence to federal PII safeguarding requirements. Action Step: 1. Standardized SOP’s – Develop and distribute a mandatory "Eligibility Determination & File Maintenance Manual." This SOP will supersede current regional methods and outline exactly how to document income, verify citizenship, and conduct recertifications. 2. Automated Eligibility Verification – Integrate the Eligibility System with external verification databases (such as income verification sources) to replace reliance on estimates, ensuring all eligibility determinations are based on certified, documented data. 3. Mandatory Supervisory Review – Establish a mandatory "Dual-Control" review process. Before any eligibility determination is finalized, a supervisor must sign off on the completeness of the documentation (e.g., Authorization Release, Citizenship Declaration). 4. Training & Certification – Launch a recurring, mandatory training program for all eligibility technicians and supervisors. Training will cover regulatory compliance (2 CFR §200.303), PII protection, and the correct application of verification methods.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADSEF is committed to a fundamental restructuring of our cash management lifecycle. By migrating drawdown processes into our ERP system, we will ensure that every request is supported by system-generated documentation, enforced through systematic segregation of duties, and fully reconciled against the general ledger in real-time. Action Step: 1. ERP-Based SOP Manual-Implement of the Procedure Manual of ERP system. This manual will supersede legacy documentation and clearly map every procedural step to a specific ERP function. 2. Systemic Segregation ERP is configurated to enforce mandatory "Preparer" and "Approver" roles. The system will prevent a single user from both creating and authorizing a drawdown request, ensuring logical segregation of duties. 3. Automated Reconciliation-Implement a system-level control where the ERP automatically reconciles drawdown requests. Any variance will trigger a "Pending Review" flag, preventing unauthorized processing. 4. Real-Time Supervisory Review-Require supervisors to conduct an audit of all drawdown documentation directly within the ERP interface. No request will be released for funding without a digital system approval following a reconciliation review IMPLEMENTATION DATE During Fiscal Year 2026-2027 RESPONSIBLE PERSON Eddie J. Burgos Auxiliary Administrator for Finance and Budget

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADFAN concurs with the finding. The agency acknowledges the requirement to maintain written procedures in accordance with 2 CFR §200.302, including procedures related to cash management and the determination of allowable costs under federal awards. The condition identified was impacted by limited staffing resources within the Finance Area, which affected the timely completion and formalization of the required written procedures. In addition, the Finance Procedures Manual is currently under review and revision to ensure compliance with Uniform Guidance requirements and to strengthen internal controls over federal programs. As corrective action, ADFAN is completing the update and formalization of the Finance Procedures Manual, which will incorporate the written procedures required by Uniform Guidance. Upon completion, the revised manual will be formally approved, communicated to relevant personnel, and implemented across the agency. Management will also continue assessing staffing needs and resource allocation within the Finance Area to support the ongoing maintenance and monitoring of financial policies and procedures.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADSEF acknowledges the findings regarding weaknesses in the Random Moment Sampling (RMS) methodology used for allocating administrative costs. We conclude that the absence of formal written procedures, combined with insufficient communication between the Human Resources Appointments Office and the Finance Division, has contributed to inaccuracies in the distribution of administrative expenses across federal programs.

Finding #2024-005 – Lack of Written Grant Procedures over Federal Programs Criteria: Under Federal Uniform Guidance, all non-Federal subrecipient entities must establish and maintain written policies and procedures over Federal programs. Written grant procedures are required in the areas of verifying allowable costs, cash management, and conflicts of interest, while procurement, subrecipient monitoring, and reporting procedures should also be included. Condition: During their audit procedures, the auditors noted that the City did not have comprehensive written grant procedures governing key compliance areas. Cause: The City’s management has relied on informal practices and institutional knowledge rather than formulating a grant procedures manual. Effect: Without written procedures, there is an increased risk of noncompliance with Uniform Guidance, including improper cost charging, non-compliant procurement, untimely drawdowns or cash on hand, inadequate subrecipient oversight, and ineffective internal controls. This exposes the City to the risk of questioned costs, potential repayment of federal funds, audit findings, and other possible impacts. Recommendation: The auditors recommend that the City develop, approve, and implement a consolidated Federal grant procedures manual. The procedures should not be a replication of the Federal requirements but instead step-by-step processes that are necessary to be in compliance with the Federal guidelines. Response: The City will begin the process of drafting and approving a Federal grant procedures manual in order to be in compliance with Federal requirements going forward.

Review of their audit report(s) and addressing any finding(s) related to their federal award(s), including the related appropriate corrective actions, when applicable. B. Retroactive Subrecipient Portfolio Risk Assessment and Correction(s). The Organization performed a risk assessment of the existing subrecipient portfolio to identify risks, for the audit periods July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024. The objective of this risk assessment was to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks that could adversely impact the Organization’s ability to achieve its strategic, operational, compliance and quality assurance goals. The completion of the Organization’s portfolio risk assessment resulted in correction of identified non-compliant subrecipient agreement(s). C. Subrecipient Policies and Procedures. By December 31, 2024, the Organization updated and implemented financial policies and procedures aligned to the subrecipient monitoring and management provision of 2 CFR §200.331 and 2 CFR §200.332 of the Uniform Guidance, including checklists, flowcharts, samples, data sheets, data sharing agreements, etc.; and the current practices of the Organization to the present period of the report dated June 17, 2026, is consistent with such developed subrecipient policies and procedures.
