Based on the results of our sample of 100 maintenance claims, we estimated that Pennsylvania improperly claimed $17.3 million for Title IV-E maintenance (room and board) costs on behalf of Allegheny County children from October 1997 through September 2002. Including associated administrative costs of $11 million, we estimated that the State improperly claimed at least $28.3 million of the total $146.1 million (Federal share) claimed for Title IV-E reimbursement on behalf of Allegheny County children. Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes Federal funds for State foster care programs. For children who meet Title IV-E requirements, ACF provides the Federal share of States' costs, including maintenance costs and administrative and training costs.What is even worse, this HHS audit is only one county in Pennsylvania.
