Fiscal Officer will continue to complete the quarterly LCTS reporting, while the Accounting & Support Services Supervisor will review and sign off on it. Regarding the late submission of the 2024 Annual Collaborative Report. This report is emailed and completed by the LCTS Coordinator.

Finding Number: 2024-002 Finding Title: Eligibility - METS Program: 93.778 Medical Assistance Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jodi Halvorson Corrective Action Planned: Timelines: This error occurred from a worker that is no longer in our agency. It was discovered after the worker left that the application was filed away without processing. This is not our policy, and we will be discussing the importance of program timelines in our unit meeting. Verification of Citizenship status (error with SSN entry): This case was received from a previous county. The SSN was entered incorrectly which did not produce citizenship verification in the system. It was noted that there was a birth certificate on file, but METS case files do not get transferred between counties, so we did not have the birth certificate. The SSN was corrected which was able to ping the verification of the citizenship. Going forward, for the next 3 months we will be looking at each case that is transferred into our county to make sure the citizenship has been verified and if not, request the birth certificate or other verification. After the initial 3 months, we plan to do random case checks. Anticipated Completion Date: 9/15/25 we will have the unit meeting and discuss timelines 12/31/25 will be our 3-month goal of checking transferred in cases for citizenship

Condition In two instances, the amounts recorded in the General Ledger (GL) did not match the corresponding amounts recorded in the payroll system. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: Efforts were taken to verify Dayforce is configured to allocate salary expenses to an employee’s home agency and department, regardless of where the employee assigns their hours in the timekeeping system. While the timesheet programmatic reflects the agency and department where hours and dollars are functionally charged, the payroll register aligns with the General Ledger based on home agency coding. As a result, the Payroll Register and General Ledger will reconcile with each other but may not align with programmatic reports, which are based on timesheet-level allocations. This system behavior is consistent with current configuration and financial reporting practices. The Payroll Department and the DHHS will meet in Q3 2025 to ensure grant/expense tracking activities are working as intended. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Sue Drummond, Director Payroll & HRIS Interface Anticipated Completion Date: Completed January 2025.
