Recommendations

Perform and document a review of ADSEF's eligibility system to verify that the retroactive/claims module is no longer modifying data in the budget module.

Require ADSEF to review all active cases that have been through the retroactive/claims module since April 2014 and correct any inaccurate case data including benefit amounts, household size, and net income.

Require ADSEF to regularly perform checks against SSA national death information to ensure deceased individuals are not receiving benefits. Review cases identified through the audit and establish claims for overpayments, as appropriate.
