Finding Number 2022-206: The Department did not complete required subrecipient monitoring of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund of the Education Stabilization Fund.Federal Programs:84.425U - Education Stabilization Fund ? ARPA ESSER III84.425D - Education Stabilization Fund - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund84.425W - Education Stabilization Fund - ARPA ESSER - Homeless Children and Youth84.425R - Education Stabilization Fund - Emergency Assistance for Non-Public SchoolsRelated to Prior Finding: 2021-204Agency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.Corrective Action: It was not until the end of the 2022 legislative session that spending authority was given to the State Department of Education to use ARP ESSER Sincerely, administrative funds to hire additional staff to meet the robust requirements identified by the U.S. Department of Education. Up to that point, only one full-time person was handling all of the needs associated with ESSER funds. Since then, two positions have been hired. The ESSER Data and Reporting Coordinator began in April 2022, and the ESSER Monitoring Coordinator began in June 2022. While developing the monitoring procedures began in July 2022, it was after the audit timeframe. The Department now has in place all ESSER monitoring policies and procedures and will complete year one monitoring before May 5, 2023.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: May 2023Responsible for Corrective Action: Gideon Tolman, Chief Financial Officergtolman@sde.idaho.gov 208-332-6874

Finding Number 2022-210: The Department did not review subrecipient application information for Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds at a sufficient level to identify missing information from required documentation.Federal Program: 21.027 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery FundsRelated to Prior Finding: N/AAgency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.In the rush to respond to emergency needs during the pandemic and the non-traditional format these funds were distributed, the Department neglected to properly review and hold incomplete attestation applications. The attestation application process was specifically developed under the pandemic, was a new process for staff, and was during the time period of transitioning from DUNS to Unique Identifier. Additionally, staff not typically involved in the subrecipient process approved the applications for payment and did not know to hold payments if the unique identifier field was blank. Finally, attestation documents did not route through the traditional internal processes where controls would have identified the gap. After funds were distributed and the misstep was realized, the Department verified Unique Identifiers through SAMS registration or by reaching out directly to the hospitals for documented proof. At the time of the audit, we did not have documentation of a unique identifier for two (2) hospitals out of the forty-three (43) awarded, but that information has subsequently been obtained.The attestation process has since been discontinued. Internal controls are in place as the Department procurement policy; staff are trained to check SAM.gov on all subrecipients. Additionally, internal forms needed to execute a subrecipient agreement require documentation of the Unique Identifier. If the Unique Identifier field is left blank, the Department Contracts and Procurement Unit will not process the agreement request. This finding was a result of a new process and untrained staff pulled into the rapid dispersal of COVID funds.Corrective Action: Corrective action is complete. Internal controls are in place as the Department procurement policy; staff are trained to check SAM.gov on all subrecipients. Additionally, internal forms needed to execute a subrecipient agreement require documentation of the Unique Identifier. If the Unique Identifier field is left blank, the Department Contracts and Procurement Unit will not process the agreement request. This finding was a result of a new process and untrained staff pulled into the rapid dispersal of COVID funds.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: Corrective action has been taken as of April 2023Responsible for Corrective Action: Kelly Combs, Bureau Chief, Compliancekelly.combs@dhw.idaho.gov 208-334-5814

Finding Number 2022-209: An annual physical inventory was not completed for all storage facilities used by sub-distributing agencies for the Emergency Food Assistance Program as required by federal guidance.Federal Program: 10.568 - Emergency Food Assistance ProgramRelated to Prior Finding: N/AAgency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.Corrective Action: The Department questioned and relied upon an opinion from the National Office of USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), which administers TEFAP, affirming the Department?s interpretation of the regulations for this program. Dixon, R. (2023) Email to Cho Heide, March 23. In that opinion the Department asserted and FNS agreed that the requirements for an annual physical review of food inventories only applies to storage facilities used by the state distributing agency or sub-distributing agencies (as defined in 7 CFR 250.2). The Department has always considered the organizations with which we have subgrant agreements for TEFAP to be eligible recipient agencies (as defined in 7 CFR 251.3), not sub-distributing agencies. The Department provided this information to LSO auditors but on review with them as relates to the compliance supplement for this program, it became clear that the guidance from FNS was not authoritative and therefore, did not supersede the compliance supplement. With this knowledge, the Department will work with FNS to clarify requirements within the compliance supplement, revising our control process in this program accordingly.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: July 2023Responsible for Corrective Action: Kelly Combs, Bureau Chief, Compliancekelly.combs@dhw.idaho.gov 208-334-5814

The entire EBT team was trained on the bulk card ordering and issuing process and modified security procedures to mitigate the risk of non-compliance in the future. The bulk card managers in the field offices review and reconcile card issuances monthly. Also, the EBT Supervisor documents the review of the previous quarter?s electronic card audits for accuracy and completeness.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: See corrective action above.Responsible for Corrective Action: Kelly Combs, Bureau Chief, Compliancekelly.combs@dhw.idaho.gov 208-334-5814

Finding: 2022-082 - During the testing of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Minority Serving Institution (MSI) expenditures there was an observed instance, among the forty that were tested, of an interdepartmental transaction being claimed as a reimbursable expenditure. Students from the MacClean House dorm, which is operated by the UAF Residence Life unit, were required to quarantine in the MacLean House dorm, which is operated by the College of Rural and Community Development (CRCD) unit. This resulted in the UAF Residence Life unit paying the CRCD unit for the students' housing costs. This transaction was included as areimbursable expenditure, despite having a net $0 impact on the income statement.Questioned Costs: $2,100.97 - ALN 84.425F - Grant Award P425L200248Assistance Listing Number: 84.425FAssistance Listing Title: HEERF MSI PortionViews of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): There is no disagreement with the audit finding.Corrective Action (corrective action planned): The University of Alaska Fairbanks has removed the interdepartmental transactions from the award.

Finding: 2022-026 - FY 22 Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act subaward reporting for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) and American Rescue Plan ? Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ARP ESSER) did not occur for 72 subawards.Questioned Costs: NoneAssistance Listing Number: 84.425D; 84.425UAssistance Listing Title: ESSER ? COVID-19; ARP ESSER ? COVID-19Views of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): The department partially agrees with Finding 2022-026. The department agrees with the count of 72 separate awards not being reported, however the department disagrees with the specific dollar amount listed as ESSER II subawards were not reported. The amount listed is missing $5,483. This amount was awarded to a school district that also received ESSER II SEA Reserve funding under the same grant award and the FFATA reporting system has no mechanism to differentiate between mandatory funding and SEA Reserve funding. Per 2 CFR ? 170.220(b) and FFATA guidance documents, if an award increases to greater than the $30,000 reporting threshold, the full amount of the award must be reported, not just the portion that exceeded the threshold.Corrective Action (corrective action planned): Both the procedures and the financial report used to populate the FFATA reporting have been updated. Department staff have been working with the FFATA help desk for approximately two years, through multiple help desk tickets, and have not been able to make the corrections despite repeated, ongoing follow-up, and intervention by the U.S. Department of Education. The department has not submitted FFATA reporting since April 2022 as most activity for the noted assistance listings is only relevant to reports the department could not access. The FFATA help desk did successfully make those reports accessible again as of February 21, 2023, and the department has since completed the ESSER I (ALN 84.425D) FFATA reporting corrections as of March 3, 2023. The department will make the necessary ESSER II (ALN 84.425D) and ESSER III (ALN 84.425U) corrections and resume normal FFATA reporting as soon as reasonably possible.Completion Date (list anticipated completion date): October 1, 2023Agency Contact (name of person responsible for corrective action): Stephanie Allison, Division Operations Manager, Division of Administrative Services

COVID-19Views of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): The department agrees with Finding 2022-028.Corrective Action (corrective action planned): The department corrected the formula error in the allocation, created by a difference in the order of how the school district were listed between the allocation calculation worksheet and a supporting worksheet, and had both the Special Education Grant Administrator and the Administrative Services Division Operations Manager review the corrected allocations. Districts who did not receive sufficient funding were made whole by adding Special Education Discretionary Funding to the districts? FY2023 Special Education applications in the department?s Grants Management System (GMS). The FY2022 allocation correction amounts were uploaded as ?additional? funding. The same error existed in the FY2023 allocation spreadsheet and was corrected at the same time by adding the Special Education Discretionary Funding to the ?original? FY2023 allocations in GMS.Additional procedures are not considered necessary as this issue was largely caused by the shifting of responsibility for completing the allocation calculation review from the Grants Administration team to the Special Education team.Completion Date (list anticipated completion date): March 21, 2023Agency Contact (name of person responsible for corrective action): Stephanie Allison, Division Operations Manager, Division of Administrative Services

The County created a 2nd Party Review Error Summary Log. This will be used to record all 2nd Party Reviews that require corrections to a case. 2nd Party Review forms will be completed and handed out to caseworkers as previously with the exception that the Reviewer will log the ones that need corrections. Once the form is returned to the Reviewer, they will check to verify the needed corrections have been completed and documented. Once they have done this, they will enter the needed dates on the 2nd Party Review Error Summary Log. A meeting was held to implement this new procedure on 2/16/2023 and was placed in effect for the action month of January 2023, since this is the current month being reviewed at time of reported findings and needed CAP.
