Ohio Admin. Code 5101:9-6-12.1 - Title XX temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) transfer allocation
(A) The Ohio department of job and family
services (ODJFS) issues the Title XX TANF transfer allocation to the county
department of job and family services (CDJFS) to support programs and services
to children and/or their families whose income is less than two hundred per
cent of the federal poverty level (FPL).
(B) ODJFS issues this
allocation on a federal fiscal year (FFY) basis. ODJFS communicates the
funding period of
performance and liquidation period for this allocation through the
county finance information system (CFIS). Funds must
be expended by the period of availability and reported
The
CDJFS can disburse and report financial transactions incurred during the
funding period no later than the end of the liquidation period.
(C) The Title XX TANF transfer allocation
consists of one hundred per cent federal funds. The originating catalog of federal domestic assistance
(CFDA) number for this allocation is 93.558. In accordance with CFDA number
93.558, expenditures for money transferred out of TANF and into Title XX
shall be shown
are
considered as expenditures for the Title XX program and reported under
CDFA number 93.667on the county's schedule of
expenditures of federal awards.
(D) Methodology
ODJFS uses the following methodology to distribute the Title XX TANF transfer allocation.
(1) When the
statewide allocation is the same as the preceding year, or has a decrease of
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 Title XX TANF transfer allocation 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) 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 state wide
increase amount 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 grant 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) Forty 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) 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 federal fiscal year (FFY).
(E) The CDJFS may move eligible expenditures
as follows:
(1) The CDJFS may move eligible
expenditures to the Title XX federal social services allocation as detailed in
rule
5101:9-6-12
of the Administrative Code.
(2) The
CDJFS may move eligible expenditures to the state social services operating
allocation as detailed in rule
5101:9-6-10
of the Administrative Code.
(3) The
CDJFS may move eligible expenditures associated with allowable TANF services
for children and/or families whose income is less than two hundred per cent of
the federal poverty level to the TANF regular or TANF administrative allocation
as detailed in rules
5101:9-6-08
and 5101:9-6-08.8 of the Administrative Code.
(4) Any excess expenditures remaining after
paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule are the responsibility of the county
agency.
(F) A CDJFS may
elect to use all or a portion of these funds as regular TANF funding. A CDJFS
shall use the JFS 02725 "Family Service Agency
Budget Allocation Transfer Request" (rev. 4/2013)
CFIS budget transfer process to request the transfer
of funding. The request for each fiscal year must be submitted by January
eighteenth, following the allocation's
October-December liquidation period.

contained in rule

contained in rule
