Auditor General Finds High Eligibility Error Rates At D.H.S.
By: Benjamin A. Schock, Attorney at Law Despite implementation of a process to catch errors, a high eligibility error rate for certain assistance programs at the Department of Human Services (DHS) led the Auditor General to maintain that a material condition still exists, according to a follow-up report issued Thursday by Auditor General Thomas McTavish. In 2008, the initial report found a material condition and made two recommendations regarding the client eligibility oversight, error identification and error prevention processes for some public assistance programs at DHS. The specific programs that were audited included the Family Independence Program (FIP), Child Development and Care Program (CDC) and the Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid).
