Recommendation: The Department of Housing should strengthen internal controls to ensure that it properly calculates Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers housing assistance and utility benefit payments. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Housing: We agree with the finding. DOH did contract with a third-party entity to provide these services; however, DOH retains overall responsibility for the program. Recently, DOH established a Section 8 division within DOH to provide more oversight over the program and the contactor. We are working closely with the contractor to strengthen their internal control, develop policies and procedures. DOH will continue collaborating with the contractor to enhance system controls and minimize the risk of future issues. All identified errors in this finding have been corrected including the questionable cost, and the software now includes a new feature designed to prevent similar problems going forward. DOH remains committed to continuous improvement and effective oversight of the program and contractor.

Recommendation: The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection should strengthen internal controls and promptly report subawards in compliance with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection: DESPP does not agree with this finding. DESPP utilizes the federally designated FFATA reporting system (SAM.gov) for all FFATA reporting. This system does not possess the capability for any layered review or approval of information prior to upload or post submission. The system has no reporting mechanism to review information input into this system. Further, the system does not maintain capability to track the dates of changes and it records over upload dates at future submission timeframes. These issues have been repeatedly brought to the attention of both SAM.gov administrators at the federal level and DESPP’s FEMA funding agencies. In response to a similar finding by FEMA, DESPP provided the attached information, after which FEMA closed the DESPP finding. DESPP will continue to attempt to work with SAM.gov administrators to advocate for modifications to the FFATA reporting system to address these concerns, but is unable to address them unilaterally without federal agency intervention.

Recommendation: The Department of Social Services should strengthen internal controls to ensure that only eligible recipients receive Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration services in accordance with federal laws, award terms and conditions, and the Money Follows the Person Operational Protocol. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Social Services: The Department agrees in part with this finding. Condition #1: DSS agrees that participation end dates were not updated timely due to cross-system manual entry limitations. Reconciliation procedures and supervisory oversight will be strengthened. Condition #2: DSS agrees that participation suspensions were not consistently reflected across systems due to timing delays. Monitoring and real-time reconciliation controls will be enhanced. Condition #3: DSS agrees approved costs exceeded institutional thresholds in limited cases. Variances were clinically justified, reviewed, and authorized. DSS will strengthen documentation and internal protocols to ensure clearer policy alignment. Condition #4: DSS agrees that the documentation was incomplete in one instance. Internal review standards will be reinforced to ensure comparative cost analyses are consistently documented. Please note, the Department will not be returning the questioned costs associated with this finding. According to federal regulations, recoveries based on eligibility errors can only be pursued when identified by programs operating under Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Payment Error Rate Measurement program, per section 1903(u) of the Social Security Act and regulations at Title 42 CFR Part 431, Subpart Q.

Recommendation: The Department of Developmental Services should strengthen internal controls to ensure it obtains the required signatures for the individual plan for all Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration recipients. The Department of Social Services should conduct an audit of the medical provider in accordance with Section 17b-99 of the Connecticut General Statutes to ensure integrity of the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration program. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Developmental Services: DDS agrees with the finding. The errors were attributed to current manual processes and case management oversight regarding documenting signatures when individual plan (IP) meetings are held remotely rather than in-person. Most of the deficiencies (5 of 6) were isolated to one case manager. The MFP division is small with 3-4 case managers, causing a higher error rate when extrapolated against the sample size. The missing support service records have been forwarded to the Department of Administrative Services for research. There are plans to improve the individual plan process to enhance internal controls through automation. In the interim, case managers and case manager supervisors will be reminded of the IP signature requirements.

Recommendation: The Judicial Branch should strengthen internal controls to ensure it complies with federal subrecipient monitoring requirements for the Crime Victim Assistance program. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Judicial Branch: The Judicial Branch Office of Victim Services (OVS) agrees to strengthen its internal controls as described below to comply with federal subrecipient monitoring requirements for the Victims of Crime Act Assistance (VOCA) Program. In 2025, OVS performed site visits for four VOCA-funded programs and completed financial-desk reviews of monthly or quarterly financial reports for all programs. That year, OVS experienced personnel turnover in its three-employee Fiscal Services Unit, notably the separation from state service of a Program Manager and a Court Planner, who together performed OVS’ programmatic site visits of VOCA-funded programs. Also, there was a significant increase in workload resulting from OVS’ contributions to the 2024-2025 VOCA request-for-proposal process. In response, staff outside the unit contributed while managing other assigned duties, a Program Manager and Grants and Contract Specialist were hired to restore the unit to its three-employee configuration, the new employees received training on subrecipient monitoring policies and procedures, and a revised subrecipient site visit plan was developed and has begun being implemented. To strengthen internal controls, OVS has developed a revised site visit plan for the remaining VOCA-funded programs scheduled to receive site visits in 2025. April 15, 2026, is the anticipated date for OVS to complete the site visits. OVS has completed sending letters to the subrecipients operating the VOCA-funded programs. The letters request supporting documentation, which is programmatic and financial in nature, in accordance with OVS administrative policy and procedure. Also, the letters inform subrecipients that site visits will commence in accordance with a revised site visit plan.

Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Social Services: The Department agrees with this finding. However, the Department believes that there are proper internal controls to ensure the security of returned cards. There was no log maintained by the Department but the controls in place reduced the risk of benefits being used incorrectly to an acceptable level.

Recommendation: The Department of Social Services should strengthen internal controls to identify the agency responsible for each client’s eligibility determination and document benefit iteration approvals for the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer Program for Children. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Social Services: The Department disagrees with this finding. Condition #1: Eligibility for the Summer EBT program is established through multiple pathways: receipt of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, Temporary Family Assistance (TFA), or HUSKY A coverage, and through applying for and receiving an eligibility determination for either the National School Lunch Program or the Summer EBT program itself. Determining eligibility is a shared responsibility between DSS and the State Department of Education (SDE), and children qualify through multiple pathways simultaneously. DSS maintains a record within its eligibility system and compiles reports of all eligible children. When eligibility is established through any additional means, the child’s record is then analyzed against all previous issuances to ensure duplicate participation and double issuance does not occur. Title 7 CFR Part 292.16 (a)(5)(i) requires the Summer EBT agency to establish a master issuance file which contains all information needed to identify eligible children, issue Summer EBT benefits, record the participation activity for each household and supply all information necessary to fulfill reporting requirements. The agency is not required to specify which program(s) were used to determine eligibility, which is reasonable given that there may be multiple overlapping avenues of eligibility. The implication that DSS is somehow not compliant or able to identify the source of eligibility is inaccurate. DSS can identify this information on an individual basis through reviewing the child’s receipt of SNAP, TFA, HUSKY A, or through its ongoing coordination and communication with SDE. Condition #2: It is not a requirement of the business systems division to request approval for each issuance. Each year the Department issues benefits for this program in a consistent manner. Since there were no changes to the process during the audit period, approval was not sought for the issuances. Business systems would only seek approval if there was a change to the process.

Finding 2025-002: Equipment and Real Property Management The single audit report included the following recommendation: EY recommends Amtrak set up a system with certain criteria for identifying sites at a higher risk for noncompliance with safeguard requirements, and creates an action plan for evaluating, and remediating potential noncompliance. EY recommends that management consider redesigning one of its key controls to help ensure that the monitoring of the observations is occurring on a preventive basis to help identify any exposure to non-compliance before it occurs and clearly identifies any follow-up steps and actions. For example, there should be established a protocol as well as timeline for when required observations are to take place, additionally, as it is known in advance, which items are coming up for inventory, Amtrak could prepare an annual schedule of inventories, that could be revised quarterly. Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Amtrak acknowledges the recommendation that Amtrak should have a system with certain criteria for identifying sites at a higher risk for noncompliance with safeguard requirements and create an action plan for evaluating and remediating potential noncompliance. As part of this effort, the Enterprise Asset Management and Disposition Team will work with Corporate Security to review and, as appropriate, align existing governance processes to reduce the likelihood of similar noncompliance. Amtrak agrees with the recommendation to redesign key controls to help ensure that the monitoring of the observations happens on a preventive basis to help identify any exposure to non-compliance before it occurs. Amtrak published an updated Equipment Control Policy and created an eLearning course, as well as implemented several processes, technologies, and reporting that help to proactively monitor and identify equipment that is 90 days or less of needing an inventory. This has improved the compliance rate from less than 70% in FY22 to over 97% in FY25. Amtrak understands that this is a repeat finding and will review with Infrastructure Maintenance and Construction Services, the owner of equipment that was out of compliance to strengthen the practice and reduce the likelihood of noncompliance. The contact for this item is Robert Hoban, Director Asset Management. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2028.

Subject: Corrective Action Plan for FY2025 Audit Action Taken in Response to the Finding The Commission reviewed the two transactions cited in the audit—Adobe Lightroom ($127.07) and Hover ($103.02)—and determined that these small-dollar purchases resulted from unintentional administrative oversights rather than systemic issues. To prevent similar issues going forward, the following actions have been taken or are in progress: 1. Clarifying vendor coverage under existing agreements ICPRB maintains a blanket procurement agreement for Adobe products. A detailed review of that agreement confirmed that Adobe Lightroom is not currently covered. Going forward, any Adobe products not explicitly included in an approved blanket agreement will require a separate procurement requisition before purchase. 2. Strengthening controls over procurement thresholds Procedures have been reinforced to ensure that any purchase exceeding the $100 threshold is properly documented before the purchase is made. As part of this effort, a Director of Finance and Administration—who is a CPA—joined the organization effective April 6, 2026, with direct responsibility for overseeing procurement activities and ensuring compliance with applicable policies. 3. Monitoring cumulative spending by vendor In the case of Hover, ICPRB initially incurred a small annual charge of $16.17 for website hosting. Over time, additional sites were added, which caused total spending with the vendor to exceed the $100 threshold by $3.02. New procedures are now in place to monitor cumulative spending with each vendor throughout the year so that procurement requirements are triggered promptly when thresholds are reached. 4. Reinforcing training and communication Finance and administrative staff involved in purchasing and procurement were reminded of key requirements, including: The importance of obtaining proper procurement documentation for applicable purchases. • The need to track cumulative vendor spending to identify when thresholds are exceeded. • The limitations of blanket procurement agreements 5. Conducting periodic compliance reviews The Finance Department will perform regular reviews of vendor expenditures to identify any vendors approaching or exceeding procurement thresholds and will take appropriate action as needed to maintain compliance. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: P. Ernest Parker, Jr., Director of Finance and Administration eparker@icprb.org, 301.450.2413 Wendy Wang, Senior Accountant wwang@icprb.org, 301.274.8129 Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2026.
