Recommendations

Ensure CDSS corrected the miscoding error of the $282,665 claimed as SNAP administrative expenses. Ensure the funds that were previously reimbursed by FNS were adequately returned, and CDSS appropriately claimed and was reimbursed for the Pandemic EBT administrative expense through proper funding.

Review whether Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer administrative expenses were properly claimed and reported in the next FMR of CDSS.
