2025-036 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) 97.036 Recommendation: We recommend the Department complete implementation of its corrective action plan from the prior year. The Department should review and enhance its procedures and internal controls to ensure that all required subawards are reported timely and accurately to SAM.gov no later than the end of the month following the month of issuance of each subaward. Action taken in response to finding: MEMA has assigned entering roles and review/approval roles to several employees to ensure our ability to meet MEMA’s FFATA reporting requirements. Grants Units will not forward any contract, amendment, settlement agreement to CFO for signature without confirmation that a properly completed/signed FFATA form has been received from subrecipient. Once contract/amendment/settlement agreement has been signed by CFO, grant program staff will save FFATA form in SharePoint FFATA folder, within the month/year of obligation (signed by MEMA). Grants Unit will have at least one position, and Fiscal will have at least one position assigned to the role of FFATA Data Entry. Assigned FFATA Data entry personnel will review the FFATA SharePoint folders for any recent FFATA forms. This review should be done weekly but no later than every other week. All new FFATA forms will be entered into SAM.gov within ten (10) business days of subcontractor/subrecipient award obligation (date contract/amendment is signed by MEMA’s CFO). Grants Unit will have at least one position, and Fiscal will have at least one position assigned to the role of FFATA Data reviewer/approval. FFATA Data reviewers/approvals will be notified by FFATA Data entry personnel when new FFATA forms have been entered.

2025-034 Medicaid Cluster 93.775, 93.777, 93.778 Recommendation: The Department should enhance its procedures and internal controls to ensure it maintains documentation of participant eligibility and that this documentation is readily available for audit. Action taken in response to finding: Currently, when a document is received at a MassHealth Enrollment Center, it is the worker’s responsibility to collect the documentation and send it to the Electronic Document Management Center (EDMC) in New Bedford. Once the document is received it is prepped, scanned, and indexed to enable a worker to process the documentation within our eligibility system. We are proposing a short-term and long-term solution to address the audit finding. Short term solution: This approach involves minimal modifications to the current operational process and can be quickly put into practice across all locations. All staff at the MassHealth document received at a MEC that was submitted by applicants or members. Subsequently, the document must be mailed to EDMC for further processing. Long term solution: Implementing this solution will involve modifications to the current operational processes and workflows within MassHealth Eligibility Operations and the system. To facilitate this, we plan to initiate a comprehensive internal discussion involving different teams to gather insights, understand existing procedures, and identify areas where changes are needed to support the new solution. Once these preliminary discussions are completed, we will work with the relevant stakeholders to begin the development of the specific requirements that the new process will entail.

2025-031 Adoption Assistance 93.659 Recommendation: The Department should enhance its procedures and internal controls to ensure it maintains documentation of participant eligibility and child abuse and neglect registry checks, and that this documentation is readily available for audit. We also recommend the Department enhance the renewal letter to include the reaffirmation of the original subsidy agreement date by the participant. Action taken in response to finding: For the finding related to signed adoption subsidy agreements, the Department has already implemented corrective actions to improve its process of maintaining signed adoption subsidy agreements. We built the capacity to upload electronic documents into iFamilyNet in July 2022, and we now ensure that all prospectively signed agreements are uploaded into the child’s iFamilyNet record. In addition, since July 2023, during the Title IV-E eligibility determination process, the eligibility specialist verifies that the signed adoption subsidy agreement has been uploaded. The Department will also explore the auditor’s recommendation to enhance the renewal letter to include the reaffirmation of the original subsidy agreement date by the participant to see if it is technically feasible. Although the Department was unable to produce a copy of a signed subsidy agreement, the Department has controls to oversee that a subsidy agreement was executed prior to legalization of the adoption through a built-in workflow process in our i-FamilyNet system. For the other 39 sample cases, the dates of the signatures by the Department and the pre-adoptive parents recorded in iFamilyNet matched the signature dates on the copies of the original signed agreements. Hence, the Department asserts the dates entered were accurate. We unfortunately could not produce the document to demonstrate that to the auditors. For the finding relating to out-of-state child welfare checks, the Department has already implemented corrective actions to improve its process of documenting requests of out-of-state child welfare checks. In February 2023, the Department integrated the out-of-state child welfare check into the Background Record Check (BRC) section of the foster home licensing process where it can be documented and included as part of the assessment. The Department also added a value to our “contact purpose” drop down menu within the dictation screen in iFamilyNet to capture structured data that an out-of-state child welfare check was made. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Sharon Silvia, Assistant Commissioner of Permanency COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Signed Subsidy Agreements: • July 2022 – capacity to upload electronic documents into iFamilyNet (complete) • July 2023 – eligibility specialist verifies that the signed adoption subsidy agreement has been uploaded (complete) • July 2026 – assess technical feasibility of enhancing the renewal letter Out-of-State Child Welfare Checks: • February 2023 – integrated out-of-state child welfare checks into BRC section and added value to contact purpose drop down (complete)

We recommend the Department develop procedures and internal controls to ensure that all required subawards are reported timely and accurately no later than the end of the month following the month of issuance of each subaward. Action taken in response to finding: Over the next year, EEC will revise its written agreements with subrecipients to strengthen internal controls and support program integrity within the Child Care Financial Assistance (CCFA) program. These updates will ensure that agreements clearly reflect state and federal requirements related to CCFA program administration. As part of this effort, EEC will incorporate clearly defined subrecipient key performance indicators (KPIs) and indicators of success, a defined cadence for programmatic coordination meetings, and standardized monitoring checklists to assess adherence to program requirements, including applicable federal requirements. These updates will support clearer expectations for subrecipients administering services and strengthen EEC’s oversight of program implementation. Together, these efforts will promote program integrity, consistency in program administration, and greater accountability across all entities supporting CCFA operations.

2025-028 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases 93.323 Recommendation: We recommend the Department complete implementation of its corrective action plan from the prior audit. We recommend that the Department review and enhance its internal controls to ensure financial reports are reviewed and approved prior to submission.

2025-023 Aging Cluster 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 Recommendation: We recommend the Department complete implementation of its corrective action plan from the prior year. The Department should review and enhance internal controls and procedures to ensure that it includes all required information in the subaward agreements. We also recommend the Department review and enhance its internal controls and procedures to ensure subrecipient monitoring is performed in compliance with the requirements of the federal programs. Action taken in response to finding: This finding is related to prior year Finding 2023-022. AGE implemented revised internal controls during FFY24 to address deficiencies in subaward agreement content and subrecipient monitoring; however, the current finding relates to subawards issued in prior fiscal years that were not amended following the original audit observation. Since the prior finding, AGE has updated its subaward agreement templates to ensure inclusion of all required federal award identification elements, including the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN), federal award date, Assistance Listing number, federal award title, and related required data elements. These updated templates are being used for FFY25 and all subsequent contracts. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Sheila Tunney, Chief Financial Officer, Christina H.
