Finding No. 2024-003

Program(s):
Assistance Listing Number 93.575, Child Care and Development Block Grant
Corrective Action(s):
ACS: The City is planning to transition to the New York State IT system once it is fully developed and implemented by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and New York State Information Technology for the Child Care Assistance Program. The State IT system will be programmed to reflect current State policy on authorized hours, mitigating the risk of this error in the future. In the interim, The City will implement a short-term, manual solution that will ensure enrollments match authorized hours with regard to full time or part time enrollment and days of enrollment. The first step of the manual solution requires a feasibility analysis to see if it is possible to add a field for recording authorized hours into The City's IT system of record.
DOE: The DOE will continue working with ACS to ensure compliance with internal controls, applicable state and federal statutes, regulations, requirements and guidelines. The internal controls include a quality assurance check process on submitted eligibility applications.
