Criteria According to 34 CMR 675.26(a) (1) The federal share of Federal Work-Study compensation paid to a student employed other than by a private for-profit organization, as described in Section 675.23, may not exceed 75 percent unless the Secretary approves a higher share under paragraph (a)(2) or (d) of this section. Condition The total of Federal Work-Study funds distributed for compensation, both from federal and institutional funds, are required to be comprised of no more than 75% of federal funds. After reviewing the total Federal Work-Study funds distributed for compensation, it was noted that 80% of funds were Federal and 20% was matched by the university. This exceeds the 75% limit on Federal funds set by the CFR. Cause The university did not monitor funds disbursed in relation to the required ratio. Effect The university did not adequately match the Federal Work-Study compensation earned by students during the fiscal year. Questioned Costs The difference between the required 25% match by the university and the match actually made represents questioned costs of $26,354. Perspective The calculation to support the match was not being performed correctly internally, which led to the variance between the required and actual match.Identification as a Repeat Finding, if applicable Not applicable. Recommendation We recommend that the university review the calculation required for the match of federal and institutional funds throughout the year. We also recommend that they have procedures in place that would assure that the university is on target to be in compliance with the required ratio. Views of Responsible Officials The university agrees with the finding.

Corrective Action Plan: The university has reviewed its calculation and due to a one-time error, the requirement match was not met. The university is familiar with the required calculation and has always met the requirements historically. We do have proper procedures in place to ensure the university remains on target and in compliance with the ratio. The university also completed the underuse penalty waiver for the 2020-2021 aid year in the case that we do not spend all of our work study funds. Timeline for Implementation of Corrective Action Plan: Immediately Contact Person Amy Beaulieu, Associate Vice President of Finance Laura Biechler, Director of Financial Aid
