1-1 - Open

Office of Capital Access management should require Houston's and Harris County's management to take appropriate and timely corrective actions to (a) determine if payments related to the total population of 1,797'ERA1 household address groupings with potential duplicative assistance totaling approximately $20'million as of December 31, 2021, from which TOIG identified $98,242 in questioned costs from a sample, were made to eligible beneficiaries in the correct amounts, (b)'identify whether additional ERA1 ineligible and duplicate payments occurred after December 31, 2021 and, if applicable, provide the amount of such payments, and (c)'identify whether ineligible and duplicate payments were made during the entire ERA2 award period of performance and, if applicable, provide the amount of such payments. OCA should require corrected ERA1 and ERA2 reports from Houston and Harris County based on the results of the review. For any ERA1 payments determined to be ineligible or duplicative, OCA should ensure that the grantees return funds to Treasury. For any ERA2 payments determined to be ineligible or duplicative, OCA should ensure that the grantees return funds to Treasury or reimburse the grantees' ERA2 programs with non-Federal funds, as appropriate.

1-2 - Open

Office of Capital Access management should develop, document, and communicate to TOIG OCA's processes to monitor grantees for overpayments and duplicate payments, track grantees' recharacterizations, and ensure data quality for household addresses provided by grantees.

1-3 - Open

Office of Capital Access management should provide technical advice and counsel to all grantees and TOIG about the use of funds in circumstances where a landlord and a tenant are related. While OCA concurred with our recommendations and its planned corrective actions meet the intent of our recommendations, management did not provide an implementation date for its planned corrective action for our third recommendation regarding familial tenant/landlord relationships.

1-1 - Open

Treasury OIG should confirm the transactions noted as unsupported or ineligible expenditures within Contracts greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less that $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals are recouped or reallocated to other eligible uses by Bucks County in conformity with Treasury's Guidance. Based on Bucks County's responsiveness to Treasury's OIG's requests and its ability to provide sufficient documentation, we recommend Treasury OIG determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for Contract greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to individuals. Castro also identified other matters throughout the course of our desk review, which warrant recommendations to Treasury OIG for additional action. Treasury OIG should: Request Bucks County perform an assessment over whether there were any additional indirect costs claimed within its Contracts greater than or equal to $50,000 CRF submission, and identify those for removal and repayment to Treasury, as applicable. Castro noted that Bucks County awarded approximately 1,581 businesses a total of $25,668,250 in granted funds within the BBTW grant program, including our reported Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000 questioned costs of $5,000. Since Castro identified unsupported questioned costs within the BBTW grant we tested, Castro recommends Treasury OIG determine the feasibility of performing additional follow-up with Bucks County to determine if there were other instances of unsupported balances within this grant program. Determine the feasibility of following up on the remaining balance of $72,353 within Aggregate Payments to Individuals for the Recorder of Deeds and Prothonotary Departments, and determine if it is necessary to question that balance as ineligible as well. Request Bucks County perform an assessment over claimed non- substantially dedicated payroll costs to determine if there were any additional departments with employees who were not working on COVID-19 related tasks and identify any potential ineligible costs.
