We recommend that the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services require Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to track expenditures for supplemental awards by funding source, when required by Federal guidance, especially in instances of pandemic-related or other disaster relief funding. Specifically, none of the 10 AAAs in Missouri could give us separate accounting records that delineated the CARES Act expenditures to support the charges against the Federal award for these nutrition services.

We recommend that the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services consider implementing additional monitoring activities whenever the State receives large supplemental funding disbursements.
