OTHER MATTERS

Of the sixty (60) beneficiaries that were enrolled in the Medical Assistance Program selected for testing, we identified one (1) beneficiary where the documentation was missing as evidence of verification of citizenship or resident status. Cause: DSS management could not locate documentation to support that this beneficiary?s citizenship status was verified. This is likely due to increased caseloads caused by the Medicaid Expansion Program, as well as the recent conversion to an electronic case management system. Effect: Failure to verify citizenship status could result in medical assistance rendered to ineligible individuals. Recommendation: We recommend the DSS ensure all documentation is retained to support verification of citizenship. Questioned costs: Undeterminable. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The agency concurs with this finding. We will ensure that all documentation needed for eligibility, especially citizenship, is maintained in the case file by instituting a checklist of needed documents immediately as of 12/11/20. Staff will be re-trained on this measure at our next bureau meeting in February 2021.

Of the sixty (60) beneficiaries that were enrolled in the TANF program selected for testing, we noted two (2) beneficiaries who did not have a signed application on file.

Effect: Failure to obtain and retain signed applications could result in benefits provided to ineligible individuals. Recommendation: We recommend the DSS ensure all beneficiaries have a signed application on file. Management could consider use of a checklist or have a supervisory review to ensure all documents are included in the file. Questioned costs: Undeterminable. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The agency concurs with this finding. We will ensure that all applicants have signed applications on file.
