Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Dec. 01, 2008
The issues to be resolved in this proceeding concern whether the Agency for Workforce Innovation (the Agency), (Respondent), has properly disallowed some $348,355 in federal grant funding to the Petitioner, Workforce Escarosa, Inc. (Escarosa) or Petitioner, for purportedly having insufficient documentation to justify that such funds were used for allowable U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant purposes. Included within that issue is the question of whether the funds, related to "gas card" purchases, were properly documented and whether Escarosa must re-pay the disallowed amount.Neither Petitioner nor Respondent proved a precise amount of grant expenses (mis-used gas cards) which should be disallowed. Petitioner should provide an accurate or forensic audit so that figure can be determined.
