The City concurs with the auditor's recommendation and will modify and strengthen its policies and procedures to ensure that the required Uniform Guidance standards are addressed. The City has never had a finding in its Single Audit concerning the Level of Effort requirement. The Finance Department has drafted a Grant policy that is under review and will be approved administratively by City Manager John Moreno. The Policy instructs City staff members on the grant provisions for grant identification, grant funding analysis, administrative compliance, subrecipient monitoring, documentation, and restrictions. Upon approval, Financial Services Manager Anthony Martinez will inform and train all City staff members involved in the procurement and management of all grants. Within the components of training, City staff members will learn the requirements of the "Level of Effort" in the context of federal grants. Moreover, City staff members will learn how to satisfy and dedicate the Grant Project Manager's total work time toward the grant project while maintaining accurate documentation. In addition, Financial Services Manager Anthony Martinez will train staff in the succession of managing the responsibilities of grants to ensure all obligations are maintained during staff transitions. The Grant policy and internal training is part of a larger effort by the Finance Department to implement an administrative Fiscal Policy Manual and Fiscal Practices Training Group expected by June 30, 2025.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. For Sample Item 17, the screening activities associated with the revalidation were completed prior to the revalidation date through the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS). The provider submitted their revalidation application timely, but during the revalidation process the agency requested corrections and clarifications of administrative and tax information. This delayed the final component of the screening, the site visit, until July 15, 2024. For Sample Item 22, DMS confirms there was no W-9 dated prior to February 7, 2024. The primary function of the W-9 form is to confirm the providers name, address, and tax information. This information was already listed in MMIS during the date in question. The W-9 submitted by the provider on April 4, 2024, confirmed the accuracy of the information in MMIS that the provider has used since its initial enrollment on July 20, 1981. DMS is developing a mechanism to obtain information provided on W-9’s by utilizing an electronic process through the provider portal during enrollment.

For Sample Item 15, DMS has implemented an automated process to notify providers of pending revalidations and to terminate them when revalidation is not completed within five years. For Sample Item 21, DMS has implemented automated processes utilizing data transfers from licensing boards that will now terminate providers when their license lapses. In addition, DMS is developing a mechanism to obtain information provided on W-9’s by utilizing an electronic process through the provider portal during enrollment. This provider was terminated on 10/2/23. For Sample Item 40, DMS has coordinated with Division of Provider Services and Quality Assurance (DPSQA) to interface with their certification tracking system and to provide additional notifications to providers when their certification period is nearing expiration. Notifications are being sent 30 days prior to the lapse of certification. DMS confirmed with DPSQA that there were no adverse events that lead to the termination of the provider’s certification.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. All MFCU overpayment collections are received by DHS through an agency bank account dedicated to refunded overpayments. All transactions in that account are compiled into a monthly receivables report that is used for quarterly reporting overpayments to CMS. The overpayment that was not included in the report was wired to the Arkansas State Treasury and the funds were moved to an AASIS fund. Because the funds were not received through the dedicated refund account, the overpayment was missed in the monthly report. For all future collections completed through electronic transfer of funds, the person or entity making the refund will be provided with ACH/EFT information for dedicated refund account.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. The first two deficiencies occurred prior to implementation of the agency’s current integrated eligibility system (ARIES). The date of death for the beneficiary did not cross over from the prior eligibility system to MMIS. The agency has implemented a process to monitor and address when eligibility updates do not cross over successfully from the ARIES system to MMIS. For the second case, the missing documentation was likely the result of a failure to scan or appropriately index the document in the prior eligibility system. The agency will continue its practice of reviewing a sample of eligibility cases for accuracy. For the third case, the coverage did not close properly at the end of the month due to a system defect. The correction for this defect was deployed in ARIES on 3/31/24.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. Since June 2023, DYS has made multiple changes to improve monitoring of suspension and reinstatement of Medicaid eligibility for incarcerated juveniles. For juveniles with SSI Medicaid, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for suspending Medicaid coverage. All incarcerations for cases noted in the findings involving SSI Medicaid were reported timely to SSA by the agency. DYS closely monitors these cases and continues to send closure requests to SSA until the cases are closed out. SSI cases account for 76% of the total questioned costs noted in the finding. The Division of Medical Services (DMS) implemented an MMIS change in September 2024 that automatically updates member profiles to accurately reflect incarceration dates. This change will resolve the remaining deficiencies noted in the finding. All payments noted as questioned costs were capitated payments made for the PASSE, Dental Managed Care, and NET programs. The agency currently has a reconciliation process for all three programs that identifies payments made after the member’s incarceration date that should be recouped. Any uncollected overpayments noted in the findings will be recouped as part of the next reconciliation process.

For Sample Item 15, the provider submitted a revalidation application prior to their scheduled termination date. Since there was an active application in the system, the provider was not terminated.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Program Year 2024 was an unusual year in that (1) key Agency staff members were on extended leave or resigned, (2) one of the program’s primary consultants took extended leave, and (3) the program experienced a major influx of stimulus funds through separate awards that required separate management, coordination, and reporting. These exceptional circumstances slowed Agency staff’s ability to follow-up with subrecipients that had not submitted timely and accurate reports; subrecipient reports are necessary to submitting accurate and fully responsive federal reports. To help minimize the likelihood of future late submissions, the following control procedures will be established and implemented: • Prepare and transmit a comprehensive schedule of reports and respective due dates to subrecipients at the beginning of each program year; this schedule will be included in the Program Operations Manual. • Feature reporting and associated compliance requirements as a regular topic during annual training activities • Create a shared electronic, internal Agency calendar with reminders for initial, intermediate, and final due dates for report information • If necessary, upload report information in stages to federal reporting database to ensure submission deadlines are met. • Assign responsibility to a staff member to oversee the data collection process, review collected data for accuracy and consistency and, if necessary, provide technical assistance to subrecipients that need help preparing accurate reporting.
