Campesinos Unidos, Inc. Docket No. A-95-83 Decision No. 1546 |
DATE: November 13, 1995 |
DECISION
Campesinos Unidos, Inc. (CUI) appealed a determination by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to disallow $306,653 related to CUI's Migrant Head Start awards for the period September 1, 1991 through August 31, 1994 (program years 20, 21, and 22). ACF made findings addressing cost allowability or funding issues in eight general areas of CUI's program. During Board proceedings, ACF reduced the disallowance by $11,630. CUI requested a hearing, and ACF opposed this request, arguing that there was no genuine dispute of material fact. In a telephone conference held by the Board, the parties agreed that the Board should first issue a decision addressing: 1) jurisdictional issues raised by CUI late in the proceeding; 2) threshold legal issues raised by the parties; and 3) CUI's hearing request.
