Section 5101:9-7-50 - Federal financial participation (FFP) and the nonfederal matching share
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) Administration of the various family services programs is the joint financial responsibility of federal, state, and local governments. The percentage of federal financial participation (FFP) varies by program and is subject to change each federal fiscal year. State and local funds, known as the nonfederal share, shall be used to supply the difference between the percentage of FFP and one hundred per cent. When there is no FFP available, the state and county shall supply the total funds. When there are no state funds involved, the county shall supply the entire nonfederal share.
(B) The percentage of participation at the federal and state level is applicable only to allowable costs, up to the maximum amount of funds available. Nonallowable costs or nonreimbursable costs are not eligible for federal or state participation. These costs shall be met through one hundred per cent local funds.
(C) FFP is available to the county family services agencies (CFSAs) and workforce innovation and opportunity act (WIOA) local areas for allowable/reimbursable costs. Any funds comprising the nonfederal share that originate from sources other than state or county funds shall meet the requirements set for in paragraphs (D) to (I) of this rule.
