2022-003 FINDING: Eligibility Federal Program Affected: Child and Adult Care Food Program/ALN #10.558 Compliance Requirement: Eligibility Questioned Costs: No known or likely questioned costs exceeding $25,000. Condition and Cause: One child tested for eligibility was being charged for reimbursement at a free rate of $3.92, however the Organization was only eligible to receive reimbursement for this child at a paid rate of $0.62. The cause of this error was a result of the child being formerly enrolled in the Head Start program and upon disenrollment, the Organization failed to update the child?s status to a paid rate. Criteria and Effect: The CACFP requires the Organization to appropriately track eligibility for students enrolled in the program. The Organization currently does not have a control to switch students CACFP status if Head Start eligibility changes. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: N/A Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop an internal control to track eligibility for Head Start students who become ineligible for Head Start. Response/Corrective Action Plan: See Organization?s Corrective Action Plan
