IG alleges mismanagement of Breathitt Co. child support funds The Inspector General's investigation alleges it uncovered three areas where the Breathitt County Attorney overbilled the state for services. Those include overpayment for double-billed court services ($12,100); excessive billing rate for the assistant county attorney ($58,278); and incorrect reimbursement rate for costs ($15,613). Investigators reviewed office documents from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 Click on headline for complete story Kentucky Press News Service Original Story URL FRANKFORT, KY - (Wed 15 May 2018) The Cabinet for Health and Family Services wants to recoup over $85,000 in overpayments made to the office of Breathitt County Attorney Gary Salyers. The move follows an investigation into the Breathitt County Child Support Enforcement program, according to a state news release. The investigation specifically relates to use of the Child Support Enforcement monies. The Breathitt County Attorney's office is contracted with the Kentucky Department of Income Support to operate the local program which uses both state and federal tax dollars. "Child Support Enforcement staff discovered significant billing irregularities which were referred to CHFS' Office of Inspector General for investigation," Bryan Hubbard, commissioner for the Department of Income Support, said in the release. "Their extensive examination of Mr. Salyers' office confirmed systemic mismanagement of child support enforcement dollars, over-billing, and billing for services by Mr. Salyers which he doesn't appear to have actually performed. Those who hold public trust should guard it with the greatest degree of diligence. The OIG report establishes that he failed to do so on multiple fronts." The Inspector General's investigation uncovered three areas where the Breathitt County Attorney overbilled the state for services. Those include overpayment for double-billed court services ($12,100); excessive billing rate for the assistant county attorney ($58,278); and incorrect reimbursement rate for costs ($15,613). Investigators reviewed office documents from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 In a letter to Breathitt County Attorney Gary Salyers, CHFS Deputy Secretary Judge Timothy Feeley said, "CHFS takes the mismanagement of Child Support Enforcement funds with the utmost seriousness." "The funds are intended as a safety net to support families in need of child support services, such as the location of a custodial parent and enforcement of support payments," Feeley said in the release. "As a taxpayer supported program, we must adhere to the highest standard of accountability and ensure these funds are being used as intended." This story was posted on 2018-05-16 04:46:29
