Finding 2024-004: Eligibility of Participants in the Major Program Criteria and Condition: Per 20 CFR 641.505 participants are required to recertify on an annual basis that they meet the criteria required to maintain eligibility in the program. The Urban League did not obtain or did not maintain documentation related to the participant eligibility for 2 of the twenty-five participants that were selected for testing. Context: The Urban League did not obtain or did not maintain the recertification documentation. Effect: Without proper recertification being obtained annually the program may allow for ineligible participants to participate in the program. Questioned Costs: None Cause: Proper documentation required to verify the participants properly re-certified their eligibility to stay in the program. Recommendations: We recommended that internal control procedures regarding the annual redetermination of participants be documented and followed for each participant in accordance with 20 CFR 641.505.
