Current through all regulations passed and filed through December 11, 2023
(A) For the purposes of this program, in accordance with section 5101.1414 of the Revised Code, an adopted young adult is defined as a person that:
(B) The Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) is responsible for ensuring the proper administration of funds both allocated or reimbursed.
(C) ODJFS shall be responsible for:
(D) ODJFS shall provide the adoptive parent(s) of an adopted young adult with a JFS 00147 "Title IV-E Adoption Assistance Connections to Age Twenty-One (AAC) Application" and the JFS 04059 "Explanation of State Hearing Procedures."
(E) The adoptive parent(s) shall submit the JFS 00147 and verification of eligibility to ODJFS.
(F) ODJFS is to enter into a JFS 00148 "Title IV-E Adoption Assistance Connections to Age Twenty-One (AAC) Agreement" with the adoptive parent(s) of an eligible adopted young adult. The JFS 00148 will be referred to as the AAC agreement.
(G) For an adopted young adult with an AAC agreement in effect who moves out-of-state or resides out-of-state, ODJFS shall follow the interstate compact on adoption and medical assistance (ICAMA) rule 5101:2-44-05.2 of the Administrative Code. ODJFS may ask the children services agency (CSA) in the other state to document the present situation of the adoptive parent(s) and to assist the adoptive parent(s) in completing all required forms.
(H) The AAC agreement remains in effect even though the adoptive parent(s) and the adopted young adult move to another county, state, or country. The responsibility for management of the adoption assistance connections (AAC) case remains with ODJFS as the agency that entered into the AAC agreement prior to the move.
(I) If the adoptive parent(s) and the adopted young adult for whom an Ohio-executed AAC agreement is in effect reside in or move to another state, the adopted young adult will be provided Title XIX (medicaid) and Title XX (social service block grant) services by the state in which the adopted young adult resides. If any of the Title XX services specified in the AAC agreement are not available in the state where the adopted young adult resides, ODJFS shall be responsible for securing those services.
(J) The case record shall include the following information, when applicable:
(K) Pursuant to sections 5101.13 and 5101.131 of the Revised Code, the AAC case record is confidential and is to be retained in the Ohio statewide automated child welfare information system (SACWIS). Case record information that cannot be recorded in SACWIS is to be retained in electronic file format..
