U.S. Department of Human Services Office of Inspector General Semiannual Report to Congress Apri 1, 2009 - ...

We found that none of the $10.2 million ($7.7 million Federal share) in Title IV-E (foster care and adoption assistance) training costs that Missouri allocated from its social services cost pool from July 2002 through June 2006 were allowable for Federal reimbursement at the enhanced 75-percent Federal financial participation rate. Of the $7.7 million Federal share, $2.6 million was unallowable because the cost pool did not consist entirely of allowable training costs reimbursable at the enhanced rate. In addition, contrary to Federal regulations, none of the costs included in the cost pool were included in the State’s approved training plan. We set aside an additional $3.3 million for adjudication by ACF and accepted the remaining $1.8 million.
