Eligibility: Internal Control and Proper Documentation
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
No. 93.558 – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Grant Period Year Ended June 30, 2024
Criteria: The Work for Success program lacks internal controls over eligibility. Condition and Context: There was no documentation of a manager’s review of each participant’s application to the program.
Cause: The Organization stated that the manager reviews each application and interviews the client. There is no evidence of this being done.
Effect: Participants could be paid with grant funds that are not eligible for the program.
Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop written policies establishing a review process for the Work for Success program for eligibility and document each review process.
Management Response: Policies are being implemented to ensure there is a review process and documentation of the process, see corrective action plan.
