An annual state of Ohio audit has identified 19 findings and questions costs totaling nearly $243,000 among seven state agencies for the 2023 fiscal year.
That's out of a total $45 billion in federally-funded programs allocated to the state.
Improper unemployment payments total $96,000.
About $61,000 in improper payments to ineligible recipients of Children's Health Insurance Program through the Ohio Department of Medicaid are also under scrutiny.
Approximately $86,000 in Emergency Rental Assistance is also under question for not being spent within the allowed grant period.
The state auditor's office said the number of findings is down from the total of 24 in fiscal years 2022 and 2021, and 38 findings in 2020.
