Thank you Connecticut Auditors of Public Accounts! We extend our deepest gratitude to the auditors of public accounts for their thorough and insightful audit of Connecticut's Department of Social Services (DSS). Your detailed analysis and recommendations are invaluable in enhancing the transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness of DSS programs. This work is crucial in ensuring that services provided to our community, especially in areas like disability support, meet the highest standards of accountability and care. Your commitment to fiscal responsibility and excellence in public service is greatly appreciated and aligns closely with our mission at ABI Resources. Thank you for your exemplary service and dedication to improving our community. The document is a follow-up report by the Connecticut Department of Social Services regarding the Community First Choice (CFC) program, initially audited in June 2022. It assesses the Department's progress in addressing 16 recommendations from the audit, focusing on areas such as data system integration, self-direction support for clients, critical incident reporting, and fraud investigations. The Department has implemented some recommendations, like improving data system access and tracking technical assistance calls, but many areas, including critical incident report timeliness and comprehensive fraud data, remain unaddressed. The report highlights ongoing challenges, including system integration and prioritizing tasks amidst public health emergencies and staffing changes.
