Finding No.: 2024-011 Period of Performance Responding Agency: Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) Responsible Personnel: Theresa Arriola, Director (DPHSS) The DPHSS WIC Program disagrees with the findings. All supporting documents related to the findings were provided promptly on March 3,2026 when request was received on February 26,2026. In accordance with WIC FY 2024 Closeout Guidance and the requirements under 2 CFR 200.344, the WIC Program is allowed 90 days after the end of the period of performance to submit all final financial reports, as well as 90 days to liquidate all obligations incurred during the period of performance. For FY 2024, the closeout timeline required that all obligations be liquidated no later than January 31, 2025. The program adhered to these federal requirements. All obligations were liquidated prior to the close of the fiscal year grant, and obligations were reported in the fiscal year in which they occurred, consistent with 7 CFR 246.17. Furthermore, the final closeout report was submitted within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year, fully complying with WIC closeout procedures. Based on the timely submission of all supporting documentation and adherence to federal closeout regulations, the DPHSS WIC Program maintains that the questioned costs were appropriately obligated, liquidated, and reported.
