Finding Text
United States Department of Agriculture Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.558 Child and Adult Care Food Program Criteria or specific requirement: Eligibility (7 CFR 226) The Organization receives higher federal cash reimbursement for all meals served to children and adults who meet Income Eligibility Criteria for meals served free or at a reduced price. Condition: Individuals were incorrectly categorized. Questioned Costs: None Context: A sample of 36 individuals were tested out of the total population of 236 individuals. The sampling methodology used is not and is not intended to be statistically valid. Two individuals were not classified correctly between free or reduced. Effect: Incorrect reimbursements were provided to the Organization. Cause: The Organization did not have proper oversight to ensure eligibility classifications were accurately determined. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend implementing policies and procedures to ensure eligibility follows the guidelines as set by the United States Department of Agriculture. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management concurs with findings and plans to implement the recommendations above. Starting in July 2023, SADCCF's Quality Assurance will conduct a review of every eligibility form completed during the year to ensure that it was completed correctly. The form will then be traced to the USDA attendance sheet to make sure that the status (free, reduced or paid) is recorded correctly on the sheet to ensure that the billing for each child is correct.
