EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Our objective was to determine whether the State agency claimed Title IV-E administrative costs for foster care candidates on behalf of Fairfax County partners in accordance with Federal requirements. The State agency did not comply with Federal requirements when it claimed Title IV-E administrative costs totaling $5,577,929 (Federal share) for foster care candidates on behalf of Fairfax County partners.
We recommended that the State agency
refund $2,368,902 ($5,577,929 less $3,209,027 previously disallowed by the Administration
for Children and Family) in
unallowable Title IV-E administrative costs for foster care candidates claimed
by the State agency for Fairfax County partners for the period April 2002
through March 2004.
In its comments on our draft report, the State agency generally concurred with
our findings.
