Corrective Action Plan

The deficiency of lack of proper documentation for two mobile distributions is due to oversite by our agency relations team to ensure proper recipient paperwork is maintained at each mobile distribution. Our added mobile distributions to meet the increased need for food in our community has tripled this workload. Staff has been retrained to ensure the proper paperwork is filed. Mississippi DHS alleges our food bank has not provided adequate supporting documentation for two TEFAP contracts ending September 30, 2022. The CEO of the food bank and many staff members worked with MS DHS for 14 months and feel we have provided everything requested and cooperated every way we can. This was our first contract with MS DHS and the learning curve for reporting has been great. The reimbursement request by MS DHS is currently being appealed.
