Condition: Missing required documentation. Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) reports were not able to be run due to the license expiring and the person with the license no longer working at the organization. Action Plan: We have reviewed the finding regarding the need for a system ensuring that more than one individual holds an EIV (Enterprise Income Verification) license and that the license does not lapse. We understand the importance of maintaining access to the EIV system and ensuring uninterrupted compliance with HUD requirements. In response to this finding, we have taken the following corrective actions: 1. Designating Multiple EIV Users: We have implemented a policy that ensures at least two staff members are trained and hold active EIV access. This provides continuity in the event that one staff member is unavailable or the license needs to be renewed. 2. Tracking License Expiration: We have established a system to track EIV license expiration dates and will proactively initiate renewal processes well in advance of any license lapsing. A reminder system has been set up to notify both the employee holding the license and the supervisor, ensuring that renewals are completed on time. 3. Backup Procedures: In addition, we have documented backup procedures to ensure that another individual with the appropriate access is available to perform EIV-related tasks in case of staff turnover or other absences.

DHSES DRP has implemented immediate corrective actions to strengthen internal guidance related to reporting and internal controls monitoring to ensure timely and accurate FFATA reporting. The nature of FEMA reimbursement often takes years from the emergency declaration to the reimbursement of expenses and the project closeout and may include multiple disbursements to applicants over multiple fiscal years. FFATA data reported in all prior New York State Fiscal Years was completed in the now retired FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS.gov). This system was retired on March 6, 2025, and replaced with subaward reporting on SAM.gov on March 8, 2025 – just 23 days before the close of State Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. All existing data from FSRS.gov was migrated to SAM.gov. During transition training, Federal representatives indicated that while there could be accuracy issues related to the data migration – grantees would not be required to remediate these issues. After the completion of migration, DHSES DRP staff noticed data inaccuracies and submitted support requests through the US General Services Administration’s Federal Service Desk (fsdsupport@gsa.gov) and USAspending Service Desk Team (usaspending.help@fiscal.treasury.gov). However, to date, no Federal solution has been identified. While efforts to identify a solution at the Federal level have been unsuccessful, DHSES DRP staff continue to review and correct all information previously submitted for open disasters. Going forward staff will make necessary corrections to SAM.gov, where feasible, to achieve full compliance. Additionally, the State will revise Budget Bulletin L-0302 - Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Guidance to remind agencies to be aware of the conversion to SAM.gov and the need to verify/correct data, and report inaccuracies to the Federal government.

While monitoring activities are currently performed – OASAS will improve the documentation of the activities performed – including keeping a written list of all factor considerations used to determine which subrecipients are subject to additional monitoring procedures. OASAS will continue to use a “priority list” to record high-risk subrecipients subject to additional monitoring. Additionally, OASAS will maintain documentation of input from any other sources that result in the decision to conduct a review of a provider. Information will be filed and maintained pertaining to reasoning for selected providers whose priority varies in status of ranking on this priority list.

As a result of staffing changes and constraints brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting requirements were not adequately considered, and FFATA reporting was not completed in the prior year. Resource constraints continued to be a challenge throughout the current fiscal year, which prevented OASAS from fully implementing its corrective action plan during this period. OASAS will review and enhance its policies, procedures, and internal controls to ensure that all amounts passed through to subrecipients and subcontractors under subawards as defined in 45 CFR 75.2 are reported in accordance with the FFATA federal regulations. All OASAS first-tier subrecipients will receive the required notification of FFATA applicability per CFR 200.311. SAM.gov will be updated for obligations under the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2020 award and forward. Due to employee separations in the Grants Management and Aid to Localities Budget area, the lead assigned to this task in December 2024 was the Bureau Director. Staff from Grants and Aid to Localities attended the December and following webinars held for the transition from FSRS to SAM.gov. The actual transition to SAM.gov occurred in early March 2025, which delayed our reporting. FFY23 entries were made in FSRS prior to the transition, but the system would not allow us to submit and entries did not subsequently migrate to SAM.gov. FFY23 entries were re-entered in June 2025. In addition to the FFY21 COVID Relief Funds and FFY24 grant reporting included in the table above, FFY25 entries were made on July 1, 2025, August 25, 2025, and September 22, 2025 to correspond with the first date of expected expenditure by subrecipients (July 1) as well as the available allocations of the FFY25 award per the Notices of Awards (NOAs) (50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively). OASAS intends to complete FFY21 American Rescue Plan funds notices and follow-up fall 2026.

Further, OMH initiated an expense report process to review award specific expense reports for the Mental Health Block grant in SFY2024-25. Additionally, while a formalized risk assessment was not conducted, one has been developed to assess subrecipient risk of noncompliance. This risk assessment will be used in conjunction with the review of award specific expense reports to determine those subrecipients that need additional monitoring. Applicable policies and procedures will be updated as appropriate upon completion. Lastly, OMH has adopted a tracking mechanism that will be used to track and review all subrecipient single audit submissions during the upcoming review cycle.

The BLDSFS enhanced fiscal monitoring activities (started in SFY 22-23) include a review of supporting documentation to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of Title XX claims. The goal is to review each county once every year selecting the highest risk counties first based on the annual risk assessment. In addition to the enhanced fiscal monitoring being conducted by BLDSFS, the Division of Child Welfare and Community Services (CWCS) has developed monitoring procedures for on-site reviews of participants that have received services under the Social Services Block Grant (Title XX, which also includes Title XX TANF transfer funds) to determine if they were eligible to receive those services. CWCS has created a check list to be used during each case review and began onsite reviews of documentation supporting the Title XX payments made on behalf of eligible individuals on March 26, 2025. Since that date, CWCS has reviewed 33 Title XX cases in six local districts. Of these cases, 9 were funded by TANF transfer funds. The schedule of monitoring activities performed by OCFS will be determined based on the annual Title XX risk assessment and will consist of approximately 48 cases per quarter, beginning 1/1/2026.

This control is tested yearly during annual reviews, as indicated in the written procedure that was provided to the auditors on June 23, 2025. In addition, HEAP’s record retention policy is included in Eligibility and Certification Trainings that are required by new Department of Social Services staff and reinforced through online trainings. The enclosed finding involved a case with Albany County, which was last reviewed by the OTDA HEAP Bureau in 2023. As a result of that audit, OTDA HEAP required a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to be submitted to the Bureau for several issues including incomplete case records. Albany County’s CAP was submitted to the Bureau and approved on July 29, 2024. In response to Albany County’s 2024 CAP and the finding identified in the Single State Audit, OTDA will review districts during the upcoming 2025-2026 monitoring review. Any findings related to the Albany County review will be conveyed to the Albany County Commissioner of the Department of Social Services and require a CAP, if necessary. Additionally, in 2025 the HEAP Bureau refined its CAP approval process and developed new follow-up procedures to ensure districts are taking adequate steps to successfully execute their CAP.

Local districts initially cover 100% of costs incurred under the grant and periodically submit requests for reimbursement to the State of New York for services rendered. OTDA reimburses local districts only for the federal share of the costs incurred, while the local districts provide the matching funds required by the State of New York. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, OTDA relied upon the local districts’ match rate of 34% to ensure the State met their matching requirements of the Child Support Services program. The audit identified that OTDA does not have a process or internal controls in place to verify the sources of funds used by local districts to meet the matching requirements of the federal program awards, ensuring that these sources are allowable under federal regulations. OTDA will enhance the monitoring of subrecipients to ensure funds utilized by subrecipients for costsharing or matching purposes are in accordance with 45 CFR 75.306(b). OTDA will determine the appropriate business unit to assume this responsibility and develop appropriate procedures such as requiring attestations from subrecipients that the source of matching funds is allowable, develop risk-based sampling of subrecipients to perform audits to ensure the allowability of matching funds, etc. OTDA will work towards operationalizing the corrective action with an anticipated implementation date of December 31, 2026.

Participants can apply and receive services multiple times, which can result in reporting more than one cycle on the RSA-911. In some cycles, the cases were open for more than 10 years, so the original application date is reflected on the RSA-911. These instances resulted in missing signatures on applications or Individualized Plans for Employment (IPE). The NYSCB has implemented a process that requires each Senior Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (SVRC) to select 5 cases per month to complete an internal case review. There are two Internal case review forms used- one is for the case to be reviewed at IPE development or re-development and the other form is for the case to be reviewed at placement/case closure. If the SVRC finds documentation or signatures missing, they will notify the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) of the missing information by providing the completed form with their comments and follow up required. This process will continue. NYSCB will be providing further training to VRCs who complete applications and develop IPEs to emphasize the importance of having the participants sign the required forms. In addition, NYSCB will be providing training to the supervisors (including SVRCs and District Managers) in each district office when applications are taken by telephone to provide reasonable accommodations to our blind participants. Senior management will develop a written protocol which each district will be required to follow for how to manage accepting applications and signatures when cases are assigned to VRCs.

We continue to implement procedures to incorporate the above recommendation throughout the year to take advantage of training and information as available. The Executive Director has taken on more responsibility to reduce the reliance on the audit firm. Discussion and review of any auditor entries are reviewed prior to the audit submission. The Board of Commissioners will continue to monitor this situation and may attempt to fill future board positions with a member who has expertise to contribute to the review of financials or consider contracting an accounting firm to assist in preparation. The Executive Director and Supervisor will utilize accounting degrees and participate in trainings to further reduce the reliance on the audit firm in the March 2026 submission.
