Recipients of Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF) payments must also comply with the reporting requirements described in the PRF terms and conditions and specified in directions issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Condition and Context: The Organization did not complete the PRF reporting in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidance. The Organization inadvertently excluded from their reporting certain amounts attributable to implicit price concessions.

Corrective Action Plan: EmergyCare Inc. agrees with the finding and has implemented controls sufficient to identify and correct errors prior to the completion of PRF reporting, which will include a review of the most recent guidance published by HRSA as well as a separate formal review and approval of the information being reported by an individual with an appropriate amount of knowledge surrounding the Provider Relief Fund. EmergyCare Inc. will update revenue the amounts reported in the Provider Relief Fund reporting portal during the next available reporting period. Contact Person: Abigail Johnson, Director of Finance 1926 Peach Street Erie, PA 16502 Expected Date of Resolution: The policies are expected to be updated effective March 1, 2023.

Enrollment Reporting Student - Rodriguez Peria, Joan; ID #M00601823; Term 2022-13 Cause The student's Graduated (G) status was not reported to the NSLDS. The student's graduation application was dated December 2, 2021, but was not paid and submitted until February 12, 2022. The student's degree was certified in our Banner system on February 23, 2022. By the certification date, the "Graduate-Only" file transmissions to the Clearinghouse (NSCH) for the 2022-13 term had ceased. Once the file transmission for a term ceases, any cases has to be manually reported at NSLDS. Unfortunately, this case was not reported to NSLDS. Action Once the circumstances of this case were identified, the student's status update to a (G) Graduate in NSLDS has been intended several instances over the past few weeks and is still in process due to problems with the NSLDS modernized website. The Electronic Announcement ID: GENERAL-22-76 reports open issues with the NSLDS modernized website. Corrective Action Plan According to the Graduation Certification Calendar submitted to the registrars, we will develop a monitoring process to identify students certified as graduate past the certification deadline. These students will be referred to the registrars for immediate certification at the NSLDS and to the Management Compliance Office for verification at the NSLDS.

R2T4 Late Return Student Jean Morales Cruz; ID #E00542118; Term 2022-10 Cause This is an exceptional case where the student reinstalled the enrollment after a withdrawal process was processed. ? Student enrolled in course CMEM 0291, Section 51806 (EMS Internship) for a total of de 9 credits at the beginning of term 202210. ? On September 7, 2021, the professor indicated that the student had not been attending the course and a total withdrawal was processed, since this was the only course in which student was enrolled for the term. ? The R2T4 calculation was performed and the TIV award cancelled. ? Subsequently, on September 29, the Registrar's office received a certification of the student's attendance to the course and the student's enrollment was reinstalled and the financial aid re awarded. ? Upon finalizing the term, the professor annotated an administrative withdrawal (UW) for the student with the last date of attendance as of October 18, 2021. But the administrative withdrawal was not properly recorded due to previous R2T4 existing record on system and the TIV return not processed on a timely manner. Action Once the circumstances of this case were identified, the R2T4 was reprocessed on June 22, 2022 and the corresponding return of the 50% of the award was completed. Corrective Action Plan The San German campus established a procedure to reinforce the internal communication between the corresponding offices to ensure a proper process for any enrollment reinstalled after an R2T4 process was performed for the same period. 1. The Dean of Academic Affairs receives and signs the student's request for re enrollment in courses. He will submit the request to the Enrollment Manager for the reinstallation process. 2. The Enrollment Manager will evaluate the request and upon approval will run the RWOTIVE- Automatic Registration Reinstatement process. This process will cancel the previous student's withdrawal record, the financial aid adjustment and register the adjustments to the student's account. 3. Once these steps are completed, the Enrollment Manager will notify the Registrar to change the enrollment status in the system and reinstall the courses. 4. Once the Registrar has completed the process, the Bursars Office will validate the total enrollment costs and the Financial Aid Office will be notified for the processing of the financial aid. Also, the Institutional Financial Aid Office designed the report SWOBJAC (Reinstalled Students with Active Total Withdrawal) to identify any student who reinstalled enrollment and an existing R2T4 record is active in our system for the same period. The report will be generated automatically at the end of each week and sent to the Enrollment Manager to identify any pending case. Contact persons: Mrs. Vilma S. Martinez Acting Chancellor San German Campus Mrs. Glenda Diaz Maldonado Institutional Financial Aid Director

During the testing of compliance for Federal Assistance Listing No. 93.498, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Direct Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution, it was determined the Organization had incorrectly re-reported $778,860 in Period 1 expenses in the Period 3 submission, which resulted in overstating expenses claimed against PRF funds of $778,860. In addition, the Organization incorrectly double counted $81,350 in Contract Labor in the Period 3 submission. This resulted in a total $860,210 of COVID-19 expenses that were charged and reported which were duplicative and/or unsupported. Corrective Action Plan: Management continues to improve our understanding of the nuances within the guidance as it relates to charging and reporting direct expenses. Additionally, the Organization continues to implement additional controls over future reporting periods to help ensure guidance is followed, which is being achieved through educational sessions and additional layers of review over future reporting periods to help ensure guidance is properly followed. It should be noted that while the expenses were erroneously double counted, the Organization had sufficient unused Lost Revenues to cover the use of these funds. Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Mike Marshall, Chief Financial Officer. Anticipated Completion Date: Change is in process and full adoption is anticipated by September 30, 2023.
