Finding Text

Finding 2021-007: Eligibility Information on Federal Program: Assistance Listing Numbers 93.914 and 93.917 Criteria or Specific Requirement: The U.S Department of Health and Human Services requires certain requirements for participants to be eligible to participate in the program. Condition: We were unable to verify eligibility of some of the participants selected for testwork. Context: UHU was unable to provide documentation that participants met certain eligibility requirements specified under the program. Cause: UHU did not have a proper storage and filing system in place for documents. Effect or Potential Effect: UHU was not in compliance with this regulation. Questioned Costs: Indeterminable Identification as a Repeat Finding: 2020-010 Recommendation: We recommend that UHU develops internal policies and procedures as it relates to eligibility. UHU needs to acquire and maintain the eligibility documents so they are easily accessible to ensure compliance with requirements sent forth under Uniform Guidance, CFR §200 subpart D.
