The Maryland Department of Disabilities is not consistently providing timely annual eligibility reevaluations to beneficiaries of its $1.2 million Attendant Care Program, which reimburses personal attendant services for 157 individuals with severe physical disabilities, auditors found.
In the audit report released Monday, the Office of Legislative Audits stated that similar issues were found in a prior audit of the agency.
In a test of 10 program participants, auditors found that six of them were not evaluated until after the redetermination due dates and they were paid a total of $15,000 after the date of which their evaluations should have been completed.
