OIG-CA-25-026 - Recommendation 10-1

Treasury OIG follow up with New Jersey's management to confirm if the $12,674,130 noted as unsupported expenditures within the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000 payment type can be supported. If support is not provided, Treasury OIG should recoup the funds or request that New Jersey management provide support for other eligible replacement expenses, not previously charged to CRF, that were incurred during the period of performance. Further, based on New Jersey's responsiveness to Treasury OIG's requests and its ability to provide sufficient documentation and/or replace ineligible transactions charged to CRF with valid expenditures, Castro recommends Treasury OIG determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000 payment type.
