Ohio Administrative Code
Title 5101:12 - Child Support
Chapter 5101:12-1 - Support enforcement
Section 5101:12-1-50 - Program funding
Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 5101:12-1-50
Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A) Funding for allowable IV-D expenditures.
(1) Federal financial participation (FFP) at
the applicable matching rate is available for reimbursement of allowable
expenditures, as described in 45 C.F.R. 304, as in
effect on September 1, 2016, incurred in the provision of IV-D services.
The FFP matching rate is a variable percentage set by federal law. The child
support enforcement agency (CSEA) receives FFP in the administrative advance
through the Ohio department of job and family services, as outlined in rule
5101:9-7-02
of the Administrative Code.
(2) To
fund the portion of allowable IV-D expenditures not reimbursed through FFP
(hereafter referred to as the non-federal share), the CSEA may use:
(a) State appropriated funds known as the
state allocation;
(b) Funds
appropriated by the county commissioners from the county general fund;
and
(c) Processing charges
collected on non-IV-D cases that are not program income.
(3) The portion of the non-federal share not
met by state funds or federal incentives is designated as the county share or
county obligation on the quarterly child support administrative fund
reconciliation, described in rule
5101:9-7-02
of the Administrative Code. Federal regulations mandate the permissible sources
from which the non-federal share can be supplied:
(a) Public funds, other than those derived
from private resources, used by the CSEA for its IV-D child support enforcement
program may be considered as the non-federal share in claiming federal
reimbursement under the following conditions:
(i) The funds are appropriated directly to
the CSEA; or
(ii) The funds are of
another public agency and are treated as follows:
(a) Transferred to the CSEA and are under the
CSEA's administrative control; or
(b) Certified by the contributing public
agency as representing expenditures under the state's IV-D plan, subject to the
limitations of this rule.
(b) Public funds used by the CSEA for its
IV-D child support enforcement program may not be considered as the non-federal
share in claiming federal reimbursement under the following conditions:
(i) The funds are federal funds, unless
authorized by federal law to be used to match other funds; or
(ii) The funds are used to match other
federal funds.
(c) Funds
treated as IV-D program income pursuant to rule
5101:12-1-53 of
the Administrative Code may not be considered as the non-federal share in
claiming federal reimbursement.
(B) Funding for expenditures for which FFP is not allowable.
(1) Expenditures for a IV-D
case for which FFP is not allowable are described in 45 C.F.R. 304 . In
addition, FFP is not allowable for any support enforcement program service
provided to a non-IV-D case.
(2) The
CSEA is responsible for all expenditures for which FFP is not
allowable.
(3) For expenditures for
which FFP is not allowable, the CSEA may use:
(a) Funds appropriated by the county
commissioners from the county general fund; and
(b) Funds collected on non-IV-D cases for:
(i) Processing charges;
(ii) Interest; or
(iii) Copying charges.
