The OIG’s release of Georgia’s Title IV-E Adoption Assistance audit May 5, 2011 is the most recent in a series of audits conducted nationally on a state’s administration of Title IV-E Adoption Assistance benefits to eligible children. The audit findings are similar to those in the other eight state audits (in Tennessee, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Massachusetts, and Idaho) released in recent years: Title IV-E adoption assistance determinations incorrectly completed, children over age 18 being claimed, and insufficient or missing documentation to substantiate eligibility. In Georgia’s audit, 1,485 randomly selected children were reviewed for eligibility. Of the total sample, 939 children’s eligibility had either been claimed incorrectly or eligibility could not be established. The federal share owed by the State of Georgia is over $14.7 million, a significant amount for any state to have to return with state budgets continuing to decline.
