Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A) The Ohio department of job and family
services (ODJFS) issues the Title XX federal social services allocation to the
county department of job and family services (CDJFS) for expenditures incurred
in the operation of social services programs.
(B) This allocation consists of federal funds
issued under Title XX of the Social Security Act. The catalog of federal
domestic assistance (CFDA) number for this allocation is 93.667.
(C) ODJFS issues this allocation on a federal
fiscal year (FFY) basis. ODJFS will communicate the funding period and liquidation period for this allocation through the
county finance information system (CFIS). The CDJFS
can disburse and report
financial transactions incurred during the funding
period no later than the end of the liquidation period.
(D) Methodology
ODJFS uses the following methodology to distribute available
funds for this allocation.
(1) When
the statewide allocation is the same as the preceding year, or has a decrease
less than four per cent, ODJFS calculates each county allocation amount by
applying the formula listed in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule. ODJFS caps
increases and decreases in each county's allocation amount at four per cent of
the county's preceding year's allocation. ODJFS proportionately distributes
county increases of more than four per cent to counties experiencing more than
a four per cent decrease.
(2) When
the statewide allocation amount increases from the preceding year:
(a) First, ODJFS distributes to each CDJFS
the same allocation amount received in the preceding year.
(b) Once the distribution of initial
allocation amounts is complete, ODJFS distributes the statewide increase to the
CDJFS by applying the formula listed in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule.
(3) When there is more
than a four per cent decrease in the statewide allocation amount from the
preceding year, ODJFS does not apply the formula in paragraph (D)(4) of this
rule, but decreases each CDJFS's preceding SFY allocation by the percentage of
change to the statewide allocation amount.
(4) The formula is as follows:
(a) ODJFS distributes five per cent of the
statewide allocation to each CDJFS based on each county's population.
(b) ODJFS distributes five per
cent of the statewide allocation to the CDJFS based on each county's property
tax wealth factors, as measured by the total of the most recent real estate,
public utility, and tangible personal property tax values reported by the Ohio
department of taxation and as inversely compared statewide.
(c) ODJFS allocates the remaining balance to
the CDJFS using the following methodology:
(i)
Fifty per cent is based on the county's population at or below one hundred
fifty per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide in the same
category.
(ii) Twenty per cent is
based on the county's population at or below eighteen years of age and at or
below two hundred per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide
in the corresponding categories.
(iii) Twenty per cent is based on the
county's population at or over fifty-five years of age and at or below the two
hundred per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide in the
corresponding categories.
(iv) Ten
per cent is based on the county's average unemployment rate as compared to the
average unemployment rate for all eligible counties, utilizing figures from the
ODJFS for the most recently available FFY.
(E) The CDJFS may claim
expenditures against this allocation for any administrative, direct or purchased services costs as
defined in the "State of Ohio Comprehensive Title XX Social Services Plan" and
specifically included in the county's "Title XX County Profile."
(F) County agency expenditures must be
reported as described in rule
5101:9-7-29
of the Administrative Code.
(G) A
CDJFS may move any Title XX expenditures as follows:
(1) The CDJFS may move expenditures to the
social services operating allocation.
(2) The CDJFS may move excess expenditures
associated with programs and services to children and/or their families whose
income is less than two hundred per cent of the federal poverty level to the
Title XX TANF transfer allocation. Programs and services must be included in
the county Title XX profile.
(3)
The CDJFS may move excess expenditures associated with the delivery of
protective services to adults age sixty and over to the APS
allocation.
(H)
Allocation redistribution is pursuant to rule
5101:9-6-02
of the Administrative Code. The definitions, requirements, and responsibilities
contained in rule
5101:9-6-50
of the Administrative Code are applicable to this rule.
