The Department of Health (DC Health) concurs with the finding. The HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD and TB Administration (HAHSTA) has done a preliminary assessment of the root cause and conditions that created the exceptions noted in the testing of eligibility samples. DC Health agrees that the infrequency of reviews and lack of documented secondary supervisory reviews are contributing factors. DC Health will develop and implement a plan to build a supervisory-tier of eligibility review into the operations of the ADAP program and to standardize an internal audit process. The ADAP program will target a random sampling of 20% of applications submitted weekly to test compliance with eligibility criteria and documentation of eligibility reviews and decisions, including supervisory sign-off. Peer and supervisory audits will follow a protocol to validate application decisions, standardize the audit process and ensure the audits are documented appropriately. Any findings will be documented in the Ramsell Eligibility System. Job aides and training will be provided to eligibility specialists.

The Economic Security Administration (ESA) concurs with this finding. DC Access System (DCAS) currently has a timeliness monitoring report called the “Pending Summary Report” (PSR). This is a report that is automatically produced within Microstrategy, to notify applicable management of applications (initial and renewals) that have been pending determination for 30 days. During FY 24, this report was produced to applicable managers on a weekly basis. As of June 16, 2025, this report is now issued on a daily basis. DHCF believes that increasing the frequency of reporting cases that are over 30 days in “pending” status, will increase the timeliness of application determinations.

The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) concurs with the findings. The finding involved a recurring formula error in the workbook CFSA uses to calculate its lapsing quarter family-based rate adjustment. The issue stemmed from the pandemic-era stimulus funding that increased the District’s FMAP percentage from the standard 70% to 76.2%, which CFSA accommodated in its family-based rate adjustment claiming tools with manual entries. Corrective action is outlined below, but in the meantime the District has returned to the standard 70% FMAP, which precludes recurrence. To address Condition 1 going forward, expenditures occurring within the current fiscal year will be reflected on the SEFA for the Foster Care grant and be consistent with claimed expenditures reported on the CB 496. The CFSA Agency Fiscal Officer and the CFSA Accounting Supervisor will develop a written procedure to prevent expenditures from being charged to other periods. The principal corrective action for Condition 2 will be to update the entire suite of financial tools that undergird the family-based rate adjustment claims. The updates will feature formula “fail safes” that will require validation of the various statistics that inform the claims. CFSA will make an adjusting entry for the entirety of the questioned costs in the next federal claim, to be submitted on or before August 15, 2025.

The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) concurs with the findings. The licensure issue involved a provider who was in process of permanently closing her home as a foster care provider (and the existing license expired in the meantime), and the other item involved a brief lapse in the child protection register check. Corrective action will involve improved automation within the claiming process. CFSA also acknowledges that the third bullet regarding the legibility of the background criminal check document for the “other adult in the home” is an internal control issue for which there are no questioned costs. Corrective action will occur within STAAND implementation as key system edits in the foster care maintenance claim report will account for lapsing/expiring (according to District standards) licensure documentation. Payments to providers that do not meet title IV-E requirements across all axes will be left out of the IV-E foster care maintenance claim.

The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) concurs with the findings as stated. CFSA will make an adjusting entry for the entirety of the questioned costs in the next federal claim, to be submitted on or before August 15, 2025. For Condition 1, CFSA will implement a three-tiered quality check into the expense reporting process to eliminate future risk of allocating expenses (and producing claims) that are not applicable to the quarter in process. Tier one will involve check-date validation at the point of the extract query from the District Integration Financial System (DIFS). Tier two will be a manual quality check at the point of the Business Services Administration’s receipt of the extract from the Agency Fiscal Officer. Tier three is a system edit in CFSA cost allocation software application that will automatically disregard expenses that fall outside the appropriate claiming quarter. For Condition 2, CFSA will reserve space at an upcoming Management Team Meeting (MTM) to review Peoplesoft timekeeping tools and protocols around submission and approval of overtime and leave requests.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings that appropriate actions were taken to approve the case, however, the reviewing supervisor failed to update the Supervisory Case Review form with 1) date the discussion was held with the eligibility worker, the date the eligibility worker made corrections, and the date the eligibility worker review was completed and 2) failed to enter comments on “No” responses on various questions. DHS will enforce current policies and procedures and will ensure that Supervisory Case Reviews are updated and double-checked by the supervisor once the eligibility worker make the corrections prior to OSSE’s report being submitted to reflect the accurate information. The corrective action plan developed for the Child Care Services Division (CCSD) is to conduct refresher training with the CCSD Supervisory Leadership Team on the requirements for the supervisors reviewing the case files. The supervisors will double-check the Supervisory Case Review forms to ensure it is completed in its entirety including all recommended corrections. The 2nd level reviewer will make sure the Supervisory Case Review forms are correct and reflect the findings and corrections. The Supervisory Case Review form will be revised.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings and will work within the Division of Customer Workforce Employment and Training (DCWET) team to mitigate the causes of the findings. These findings are mostly residual issues caused by inconsistency of caseload management practices. Another mitigating factor is attributable to inadequate training of staff involved in the sanction process. The DCWET implemented a PIT Clean-Up project in March 2025 to address identified inaccuracies in customer assignments. This project includes conducting a thorough review and analysis of each TEP provider’s PIT (internal and external) to determine participation status for eligibility, identify each customer’s designation, assess PIT removals, and review assessments to ensure accurate assignments. This systematic approach will facilitate eliminate inaccuracies in assignments, effective reassignments and significantly enhance the operational efficiency of each assigned PIT. This will ensure that customers are properly assigned to PITs, which allows effective tracking of their participation (non-participation) leading to sanctioning and reduction in benefits. The clean-up project requires personnel actions by the DCWET leadership that include adequate training and back-filling vacant position with the division. OPM will train (retrain) staff involved in the PIT Management process to ensure that customers are properly assigned to track their participation or lack thereof leading to sanctioning and benefit reduction. OPM also will train (retrain) staff involved in the sanction process in CATCH to ensure that non-compliant customers are sanctioned as required, and the benefits are properly reduced.

The Department of Human Services (DHS)/ Economic Security Administration (ESA) agree with the auditor’s findings regarding the lack of completion of requests from the Child Support Enforcement (CSE) to the TANF program to impose a child support on parents who have not cooperated with Child Support compliance requirements. The incomplete work was due to staff transitions occurring during the review period which impacted the oversight and productivity of DHS/ESA staff working on the child support sanction process. The following corrective action plan has been developed by DHS/ESA to address the findings. These controls would provide DHS/ESA with the ability to identify errors, promote accountability, and ensure that actions are carried out timely and accurately. The work will be performed by staff working in the Division of Customer, Workforce Employment and Training (DCWET). The DCWET leadership will: • Review the procedures document to ensure the process of imposing a child support sanction, and lifting a child support sanction, is clear and updated. • Conduct training sessions for the staff to ensure they understand the procedures and expectations to complete the required tasks. • Establish deadlines for completion of tasks and communicate this to staff verbally and in writing. • Implement an internal tracking system to ensure completion of all required tasks in a timely and accurate manner. This will include a process to re-assign work when staff are on leave for two or more days. • Increase supervision and monitoring of employees responsible for completing the requests from the Office of the Attorney General OAG by conducting scheduled follow-up reviews to monitor progress of work and provide guidance to staff, as needed.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings and will work with the DCAS and DICM teams to mitigate the causes of the findings. These findings are mostly residual issues with the tables in DHS/ESA DCAS system. This requires collaboration efforts between multiple units within DHS/ ESA that include DCWET, DPO, and DICM. ESA needs to enhance DCAS 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 action requires training (re-training) all DPO SSR on the DCAS screens which require action to confirm employment. This means that the DPO should dedicate resources to providing adequate training to SSRs involved in updating customers’ employment information in DCAS. However, this would be a short-term solution, it will go a long way to resolve some of the discrepancies in reported work hours that are being transmitted to Q5i. The Office of Performance Monitoring (OPM) has a process in place to monitor and confirm the hours reported from CATCH. OPM monitors will randomly generate forty (40) sample cases from Q5i, review them and if they find any discrepancies they 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. OPM also will provide adequate training for Monitors involved in the auditing process in CATCH to ensure participation hours are properly audited. 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 are unknown to the CATCH system. The long-term resolution of reported work hours discrepancies between DCAS and Q5i requires DICM to enhance DCAS 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 would be automating the process by connecting the 2-step process into one task. This automation process would be a permanent solution to curbing stale and unsubstantiated hours from migrating to Q5i. DCWET will work with DICM to request that a JIRA ticket be created to enhance DCAS 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 process is estimated to take three (3) months to complete. DCWET will work with DPO to ensure that all DPO staff are trained on the DCAS screens which require action to confirm employment. The training will last up to six (6) months. Contact: Christian Okonkwo, Program Manager, DCWET-OPM Estimated Completion Date: September 30, 2026 See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

The Department of Human Services (DHS) OCFO concurs with the finding. The variances identified specifically relate to administrative costs incurred on the fiscal year 2024 grant that were moved to prior year grants. The fiscal year 2024 TANF administrative expenditure exceeded the TANF administrative cap for fiscal year 2024 and to correct the issue, the excess administrative cost was reallocated to prior open fiscal years (fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023). The administrative cap limit for fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023 were not fully utilized and so the Agency decided to charge the excess fiscal year 2024 administrative expenses to those grants. For future TANF reporting, the OCFO has developed an administrative expenditure tracker. This process tracks administrative cost versus the administrative TANF cap. The Accountant, Accounting Officer and the Budget Officer will review and update quarterly before the ACF 196R submission. DHS did not draw any administrative funds from fiscal year 2024 greater than the allowable administrative amount for the grant year.

The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) does not concur with the auditor’s finding regarding the allowability of rent per the CPF guidance. DMPED’s current grant procedures include a legal review and analysis by its Office of General Counsel (OGC) to determine activities that are allowed or unallowed and allowable costs/cost principles to ensure only allowable expenses are charged to federal programs as required under 2 CFR Section 200.403. Before DMPED approved the payment of rent for the Whitman-Walker Saint Elizabeth’s Expansion project, DMPED OGC had conducted legal analysis and determined that payment of rent qualifies as an allowable cost. DMPED had also received Treasury approval the summer prior (July 2024) for ancillary costs needed to operationalize the capital asset. As part of its Corrective Action Plan, DMPED will commit to seeking expressed approval from the awarding Federal agency in cases where the project guidance may be unclear and where DMPED OGC has interpreted the guidance, in order to validate DMPED’s interpretation. As a result, DMPED will take the following steps outlined below: 1. Evaluate its procedures in identifying Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles to ensure only expressly allowable expenses are charged to the program as required under 2CFR Section 200.403. Estimated Completion Date: July 6, 2025 2. Add internal controls and policies that include clearer protocols around seeking awarding Federal Agency approval in cases where DMPED OGC has interpreted the guidance, in order to validate DMPED’s interpretation of generalized categorical guidance.
