Ohio Admin. Code 5101:9-6-34 - Fiesel allocation
(A)
The Ohio
department of job and family services (ODJFS) issues the Fiesel allocation to
the public children services agency (PCSA) to subsidize the cost of the
implementation of foster care services program initiatives.
(B)
This allocation
consists of state funds. The PCSA shall deposit the funds into the county's
children services fund.
(C)
ODJFS issues this allocation for the state fiscal year
(SFY), July first through June thirtieth. The PCSA shall return funds that are
not fully obligated and liquidated by September thirtieth following the
expiration of the fiscal year in which the funds are allocated to ODJFS during
the allocation closeout period.
(D)
ODJFS uses the
following methodology to distribute available funds for this allocation in
accordance with section
5101.14 of the Revised
Code:
(1)
Available funds equal to the immediately preceding fiscal year allocation are
distributed with each county receiving an amount equal to the amount it
received in the immediately preceding fiscal year exclusive of any releases
from or additions to the allocation or any sanctions.
(2)
If the amount of
available funds is less than the amount initially appropriated for the
immediately preceding fiscal year, each county shall receive an amount equal to
the percentage of funding it received in the immediately preceding fiscal year,
exclusive of any releases from or additions to the allocation or any
sanctions.
(3)
If the amount of available funds is more than the
amount initially appropriated for the immediately preceding fiscal year, each
county shall receive an amount equal to the amount it received in the preceding
year as a base allocation. Additionally, ODJFS will allocate the amount
exceeding the amount initially appropriated in the immediately preceding fiscal
year as follows:
(a)
Twelve per cent is divided equally among all
counties.
(b)
Forty-eight per cent is distributed based on the total
number of county residents under the age of eighteen as compared to the total
statewide residents under the age of eighteen for the most recent calendar year
available.
(c)
Forty per cent is distributed based on the number of
county residents with incomes under the federal poverty level as compared to
the statewide total of residents with incomes under the federal poverty level
as defined by the United States office of management and budget as revised by
the U.S. department of health and human services.
(E)
ODJFS
sends an advance of this allocation to the PCSA within thirty days after the
beginning of each calendar year quarter. The quarterly advance will not exceed
one-fourth of the total allocation.
(F)
The PCSA may
charge expenditures against this allocation that are for the purpose of meeting
the expenses of the children services program, including costs for the care of
a child who resides with a caretaker relative and other services a PCSA
considers necessary to protect children from abuse, neglect, or dependency. The
PCSA shall charge appropriate expenditures to this allocation by completing a
post allocated adjustment moving expenditures from the state child protective
allocation to the Fiesel allocation.
(G)
The PCSA shall
report expenditures on the JFS 02820 "Children Services Monthly Financial
Statement" in accordance with rule
5101:9-7-29 of the
Administrative Code.
