Charter Schools ? AL #84.282 Education Stabilization Fund ? AL #84.425C, 84.425D & 84.425U 2022-001 Risk Assessment Process Related to Compliance Requirements (Repeat Finding 2021-001) Material Weakness Recommendation: The Auditor recommended additional resources be allocated to federal award compliance to review federal award provisions and requirements, evaluate risks of noncompliance, and respond to such risks through internal controls. The process should include methods to identify and communicate changes to federal award requirements to all key individuals within the Organization and to verify internal controls are implemented correctly and are operating effectively. Planned Corrective Action: As the organization has grown, compliance of federal programs has become decentralized. We agree that additional resources need to be added to ensure compliance with all state and federal awards. The Organization is adding additional capacity to the Business Office to centralize the compliance and reporting responsibilities. The Organization has recently had the opportunity to redesign the job description of the Controller. To allow the Controller more capacity for compliance and reporting responsibilities, an accounts payable position will be added by the end of Fiscal Year 2023. The Controller will attend appropriate trainings to ensure a full understanding of all requirements. This should be fully implemented by mid-2023.

The District Department of Health (DC Health) concurs with the finding, causes and recommendations cited in the fiscal year 2022 single audit for the HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants (HIVER) program. Corrective action plan objectives are to have the following completed in fiscal year 2023: (1) a regular schedule of payroll data runs and reports of budget-to-actual time migrated to a certification platform managed by the Office of Grants Management, (2) full utilization of a uniform navigable tool and one-stop document for supervisors to certify time and effort and to request next actions if actual costs do not align with personnel budgets, (3) to create an IT solution or mechanism to route and track submissions between supervisors, the Office of Grants Management and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), and (4) the SOP will also be updated to integrate any procedural changes resulting from full implementation.

DHCF concurs with these findings. At issue in this finding is a pricing discrepancy of .36 cents less per item than indicated in the applicable contract for the subject services between DHCF and its QIO, Comagine Health, LLC (Comagine). Effective June 2023, DHCF confirms that it is paying the appropriate contracted rate for all services rendered under its contract and has confirmed that Comagine has corrected its invoice billing rate to match the contracted amount. To ensure that DHCF continues to reimburse its QIO at the applicable contracted rate, it will draft and implement a QIO invoice reimbursement checklist containing the contracted rate(s) for applicable items, and a check box to confirm that the amount billed in the invoice corresponds to the contracted rate. This checklist will be completed by the Division of Clinician, Pharmacy, and Acute Provider Services within the Health Care Delivery Management Administration, which is responsible for payment of invoices submitted by Comagine.

DHCF and DHS concur with the findings. For bullet point #1 of the findings noted: Fourteen (14) of the cases were delayed because of caseworker inaction within 45 days. However, of those (14) cases, all were sent notices. There were system tickets created for multiple cases listed however they were created well after the 45 days. As a corrective action DHS will provide refresher training and reinforce oversight controls to ensure caseworkers and supervisors are processing applications within federally required timeframes. DHCF is working on enhancing the medical application in the District Direct resident portal to ensure a user-friendly experience for residents to submit applications online. As a result, we expect to see a decrease in delays to application processing as well as a decrease in caseworkers having to trigger notices as the online forum will automate the mailing of notices. For bullet point #2 of the findings noted: One (1) of the cases sighted for lack of verification of SSN was an improper caseworker application of the death process. On 12/09/22 the agency received a death certificate for the beneficiary confirming the decease date of 11/26/22. An application was later received on 12/22/23 with no indication of need for retro- services. The application was improperly processed due to the death notification date. As a corrective action refresher training will be provided to caseworker to ensure the proper application of the death process. For bullet point #3 of the findings noted: One (1) of the cases sighted for lack of verification of SSN was an improper caseworker application of the death process. On 12/09/22 the agency received a death certificate for the beneficiary confirming the decease date of 11/26/22. An application was later received on 12/22/23 with no indication of need for retro- services. The application was improperly processed due to the death notification date. As a corrective action refresher training will be provided to caseworker to ensure the proper application of the death process. One (1) of the cases sighted for lack of verification was a result of improper application of COVID procedures. A request was made to the hub to match SSN and citizenship information attested to by the beneficiary. No match was returned by the hub; RFI /General communication was issued to request citizenship verification; no response was received however COVID PHE rules prohibited closure of case; eligibility was extended on the back end. Although the RFI /General communication was issued correctly, the COVID process to clear the verification to prevent termination was not. The process to clear verifications was not applicable to SSN and Citizenship and this case should have been denied for failure to verify. Although COVID processes are no longer in place as a corrective action the district will incorporate the manual citizenship process into the refresher training related to beneficiaries whose hub ping returns as null.

CFSA concurs with the finding as stated. The $32,325 in questioned costs were paid in fiscal year 2022, but for services that occurred prior to the grant period. This included $17,360 for legal supports for families undergoing guardianship or adoption court proceedings that began prior to fiscal year 2020, but that culminated within the Funding Certainty Grant period. Because CFSA is unable to prorate the cost that fell within the grant period, CFSA?s corrective action will be to make a negative adjustment for the entire amount of questioned costs to the fiscal year 2023 Funding Certainty Grant report (SF-425) within the December 31, 2023 submission to the HHS Administration for Children and Families (ACF).

CFSA concurs with the findings as stated. For bullet point #1 of the findings noted: This appears to be a data entry error that occurred during the eligibility team?s preparation for the single audit. The room & board costs that occurred during the erroneous ?Eligible Not Reimbursable? period on the redetermination form were claimed to title IV-E in real time during CFSA?s quarterly claiming process. The Supervisory Eligibility Specialist has already begun a 10% quarterly quality review process of all eligibility determinations. For bullet point #2 of the findings noted: The youths in question were enrolled in high school at the start of the school year (and reflected as such in the FACES system) but were actually chronically truant. CFSA?s Business Services Administration and the Office of Youth Empowerment have implemented a joint quarterly review of the educational/employment/incapacity status of 18-to-21-year-old youth who are IV-E eligible to ensure that they meet federal requirements to support IV-E claims on their behalf. For bullet point #3 of the findings noted: The issues with background checks pertained to ?other adults residing in the home? who were not the licensed foster parents. The corrective action going forward is to produce source documentation during the audit that identifies the household composition of the foster family home so that the auditors have a clear picture of those who are adults and therefore require evidence that background checks were completed satisfactorily for IV-E eligibility purposes. CFSA will include the sections of the applications/re-applications for foster family home licensure, as appropriate, into the digital catalogue of readily available licensure documentation available for audit retrieval. These documents corroborate household composition for the purpose of identifying who, within the household, requires background checks. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

CFSA concurs with the finding as stated. In the three (3) instances of overtime payments in the sample, the employees in question were designated ?on-call? staff during non-business hours. In the event of emergency situations involving child protection or child placement, the ?on-call? staff are required to report to work to assist with resolution to the child-based emergency. Their overtime is essentially pre-approved by their management team. CFSA will orient staff to a uniform process to record and account for staff-specific, day-specific, and duration-specific instances of overtime. CFSA will train and monitor usage, and full implementation will occur by September 30, 2023. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

DOEE agrees with the conditions and recommendations of this finding. DOEE proposes to strengthen its controls in the following manner: ? DOEE?s third party database developer updated the code in fiscal year 2022 to prevent occurrences of incorrect benefit amounts generated due to an error in identifying correctly inputted income amounts. The overall operations and maintenance of the eligibility systems ensure the code remains updated with accurate information. ? In fiscal year 2022, DOEE implemented a quality assurance (Q/A) check of benefit payments to identify database errors and duplicate benefits before submitting benefit payments to Utility vendors. DOEE continues this process today to ensure that database errors are identified and addressed in a timely manner. DOEE?s database developer will create and modify the second review report that is exportable to formats that can be read and understood and inclusive of all signed second application reviews. ? DOEE will conduct, and require participation by staff in, quarterly system demonstration and refresher trainings in order to strengthen existing policies and procedures to ensure the review of applications and household size are correctly recorded into the system.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the finding in this report. The DCAS System is currently configured to receive the Title II benefit information via the SSA BENDEX periodic data match process. However, the Title II benefit information is shared with DCAS only when the benefit information with the SSA changes. In the scenario where a TANF benefit is certified on a new application, the BENDEX PDM process will not provide the Title II benefit information to DCAS. Hence, we have seen evidence of the data matches not happening up until the point when the benefit information recorded with SSA has changed. The SSA SolQi interface does provide a customer?s Title II and Title XVI benefit information at the time of the initial application, however, this interface in DCAS is configured as a verification interface. In other words, if the customer has reported income from the Social Security Administration, then the DCAS System uses the data match with the SolQi interface to verify the information reported. If a verification is outstanding on the reported benefit from the SSA, and the information received from SolQi matches, then DCAS system is configured to systematically resolve the verification. Hence, there has been evidence of the record received via SolQi, however, the record was not used to update the internal evidence which is used by the eligibility rules. DHCF DCAS teams are tracking system enhancements, logged in internal JIRA tickets ? DSM-3185 and DSM-3186 to enhance DCAS? interface with SolQi to leverage the interface at initial application and during the recertification process to ensure that the DCAS System has the most up to date income information from SSA to determine eligibility. These tickets are currently scoped for the FNS-AWL-CAP-5 releases planned for fiscal year 2024. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings and will work with the DCAS and the Division of Innovation and Change Management (DICM) teams to mitigate the causes of the findings. This corrective action plan has multiple layers in which ESA will collaborate efforts between multiple units within DHS/ ESA that includes the Division of Customer Workforce, Employment and Training (DCWET), the Division of Program Operations (DPO), and DICM. The Office of Performance Monitoring (OPM) has a process in place to monitor and confirm the hours reported from CATCH. OPM Monitors will continue to randomly generate 60 sample cases from Q5i monthly, review them and if they find any discrepancies would refer them to either OWO, DPO, or TEP Providers for resolution. When OPM conducts their review of DCAS hours, and identifies income and hour differences, the Department of Program Operations (DPO) is informed and/or the Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) requesting their assistance with resolving the discrepancy. While this would be a short-term solution it will go a long way to resolving some of the discrepancies in reported work hours that are being transmitted to Q5i. The Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) conducts outreach to customers come in for assessment and assignment to a TEP Providers. This process would eliminate instances where hours found in the DCAS system is unknown to the CATCH system. ESA will work with DCAS to enhance the system to tie the income evidence in the income support case to the employment evidence in the person record to allow the employment hours to end date once the income evidence is end dated. This will automate the process by connecting the 2-step process into one task. This automation process would be a permanent solution to curbing stale of unsubstantiated hours from migrating to Q5i.Once the system enhancement is in place, training will be conducted for all DPO Social Service Representatives on the DCAS screens which require action to confirm employment.

Department of Human Services (DHS)/Economic Security Administration (ESA) concur with the findings. DHS Division of Program Operations (DHS/DPO) have embarked on a partnership with Office of Information Systems (OIS) and the Division of Innovation and Change (DICM) to create a unique identifier in DC Access System (DCAS) which will be utilized to properly associate case documents with the appropriate Integrated Case number in DIMS. This process will reduce and/or eliminate unassociated documents in DIMS. In addition, DPO/ESA and OIS will partner to conduct refresher training for staff on how to properly scan and tag case documents as well as how to conduct searches for case documents in DIMS.
