Report Materials
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
New York retroactively claimed $13.2 million ($6.6 million Federal share) in Federal nonparticipating foster care costs for reimbursement under the Title IV-A Emergency Assistance (EA) program. Our statistical sample of 100 such claims disclosed that 74 were not allowable for EA reimbursement. Specifically, 72 claims were unallowable because they included services provided outside the 12-month statutory limit for reimbursement, one claim was missing authorization, and one claim was for services which were provided after the emergency had ended. Based on our sample, we estimate that at least $7.3 million ($3.6 million Federal share) of New York's retroactive claim is unallowable. We are recommending a financial adjustment for the $3.6 million.
