Ohio Admin. Code 5101:9-6-36.1 - Emergency services assistance allocations (ESAA) for family reunification
(A) The Ohio
department of job and family services (ODJFS) issues Title IV-B, subpart 2
funding to public children services agencies (PCSAs) to reunify the family unit
in crisis. ODJFS issues reunification funding as two separate allocations; one
for direct services and one for operating costs. The assistance listing number
(ALN), formerly known as the catalog of federal
domestic assistance (CFDA) number is
93.556.
(B) ODJFS communicates the funding period and
liquidation period through the county finance information system (CFIS). The
PCSA can incur ESAA reunification services through the funding period and
disburse and report expenditures no later than the end of the liquidation
period. Expenditures in excess of the allocation amount are the responsibility
of the county agency.
(C)
Methodology
The methodology used to distribute available funds is as follows:
(1) ODJFS allocates forty per
cent of the statewide allocation equally among all PCSAs; and
(2) ODJFS allocates sixty per cent of the
statewide allocation based on each county's population of children less than
one hundred per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide in the
same category, utilizing the most recent available calendar year data from the
U.S. bureau of census figures.
(D) Reimbursement
(1) ODJFS reimburses the PCSA for allowable
direct and operating ESAA reunification expenditures with seventy-five per cent
federal Title IV-B, subpart 2 funds. The PCSA shall use eligible state funding
or provide local funds at a twenty-five per cent match rate for the nonfederal
share.
(2) When the nonfederal
share includes donated funds, rule
5101:9-7-50 of the
Administrative Code shall be followed.
(E) ESAA reunification allocation
(1) The PCSA can claim allowable expenditures
related to time-limited family reunification
services as described in rule 5101:2-40-02
5101:2-1-01 of the Administrative Code.
(2) PCSAs shall report direct ESAA services
expenditures as described in rule
5101:9-7-29 of the
Administrative Code.
(F)
ESAA family reunification operating allocation
(1) A PCSA may claim reimbursement of
non-allocated administrative costs using ESAA reunification through the social
services random moment sample (SSRMS) reconciliation/certification of funds
(COF) process.
(2) A PCSA may
request a transfer of the operating allocation to the direct services
allocation for services stated in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule prior to the
end of the liquidation period.
(G) The definitions, requirements, and
responsibilities contained in rule
5101:9-6-50 of the
Administrative Code are applicable to this rule.
