[This rule designated an internal management rule. For a copy of this rule, contact the Ohio Legislative Service Commission.]

5101:9-31-02 Workforce investment act (WIA) initial formulary allocation methodology.

(A) The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) allocation distribution provides funding for workforce development activities related to youth, adults, dislocated workers, rapid response and other grants related to Native Americans, migrant and seasonal farm workers, veterans, technical assistance, and national emergency grants. These allocations provide funds to WIA areas to assist in the delivery of allowable services.

(B) These allocations are composed of one hundred per cent federal funds. Should the state receive a rescission of funds from the United States department of labor (USDOL), the state will determine the level of adjustments needed to comply with the rescission.

(C) Funds are authorized for expenditure through a grant agreement entered into on a program year (PY) basis and/or a federal fiscal year (FFY) basis. PY funds are available for expenditure on July first. FFY funds are available for expenditure on October first. At the state level, funds are available for expenditure during the current PY and the two succeeding PYs. For WIA areas, funds are available for the original year of appropriation plus one succeeding year.

(D) Pursuant to section 111 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Ohio will use the formula defined in the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and in accordance with the state board, the state plan, and the governor, for WIA allocation methodology for Title I programs. Effective at the end of the second full FFY after the date on which a WIA area is designated under section 116 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, the WIA area shall not receive an allocation percentage for a FFY that is less than ninety per cent of the average allocation percentage of the WIA area for the two preceding FFYs. Amounts necessary for increasing such allocations to local areas to comply with the preceding sentence shall be obtained by ratably reducing the allocations to be made to other WIA areas under this paragraph. Funds are allocated on the basis of a formula prescribed by the governor that distributes funds in a manner that addresses the state’s worker readjustment assistance needs. Funding streams will be allocated according to the following:

(1) Youth funding stream:

(a) One third of the funds shall be allotted on the basis of the relative number of unemployed individuals in areas of substantial unemployment in each WIA area compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in areas of substantial unemployment in the state.

(b) One third of the funds shall be allotted on the basis of the relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each WIA area compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in the state.

(c) One third of the funds shall be allotted on the basis of the relative number of disadvantaged youth in each WIA area compared to the total number of disadvantaged youth in the state.

(d) The catalog of federal domestic assistance (CFDA) number for this funding stream is 17.259.

(e) Entered into on a PY basis only each year.

(f) With regard to the youth discretionary allocation, in lieu of making the allocation, the state may distribute:

(i) A portion equal to not less than seventy per cent of the funds.

(ii) The remaining portion of the funds on the basis of a formula that:

(a) Incorporates additional factors including:

(i) Excess youth poverty in urban, rural, and suburban WIA areas; and

(ii) Excess unemployment above the state average in urban, rural, and suburban WIA areas.

(b) Was developed by the state board and approved by the secretary as part of the state plan.

(2) Adult funding stream:

(a) One third of the funds shall be allotted on the basis of the relative number of unemployed individuals in areas of substantial unemployment in each workforce investment area, compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in areas of substantial unemployment in the state.

(b) One third of the funds shall be allotted on the basis of the relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each workforce investment area compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in the state.

(c) One third of the funds shall be allotted on the basis on the relative number of disadvantaged adults in each workforce investment area compared to the total number of disadvantaged adults in the state.

(d) The CFDA number for this funding stream is 17.258.

(e) Entered into on a PY and FFY basis each year.

(3) Dislocated worker funding stream:

(a) Funds are allocated on the basis of a formula prescribed by the governor as designated in the state plan with the assistance of the state board.

(b) The dislocated worker formula will use federal and or state data, including, but not limited to:

(i) Insured unemployment data;

Funds may be transferred between adult and dislocated worker funding streams pursuant to the “Workforce Investment Act Transmittal Letter Number 21”. The administration funds can be transferred back to the youth, adult, and dislocated worker funds in accordance with the office of workforce development (OWD) program policy.

(6) For the first two fiscal years after the date on which a WIA area is designated under section 116 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Ohio may elect to apply the “hold harmless” provisions specified in section 667.130(c) (allocations of WIA youth funds) and under section 667.130 (d) of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and to allocations of Workforce Investment Act adult funds.

(7) Effective at the end of the second full fiscal year after the date on which a WIA area is designated under section 116, the WIA area shall not receive an allocation percentage for a fiscal year that is less than ninety per cent of the average allocation percentage of the WIA area for the two preceding fiscal years. Amounts necessary for increasing such allocations to WIA areas to meet compliance with the language in this paragraph shall be obtained by ratably reducing the allocations to other WIA areas.

5101:9-31-05 Workforce development fund.

(A) In administering the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, 112 Stat. 936, 29 U.S.C.A. 2801, as amended, the Wagner-Peyser Act, 48 Stat. 113 (1933), 29 U.S.C.A. 49, as amended, the funds received pursuant to those acts, and the workforce development system, the director of the department of job and family services may make allocations and payment of funds for the local administration of workforce development activities established under Chapter 6301. of the Revised Code. The governor is authorized by the WIA of 1998, to reserve not more than fifteen per cent of the amounts allocated to the state under Title I of that act for adults, dislocated workers, and youth for statewide activities, and not more than twenty-five per cent of funds allocated for dislocated workers under Title I of that act for statewide rapid response activities.

(B) The director shall allocate to local areas all funds required to be allocated to local areas pursuant to the WIA of 1998. The director shall make allocations only with funds available on July first (state fiscal year) and October first (federal fiscal year). Program year (PY) funding allocations will be made available on July first and fiscal year (FY) funding allocations will be made available on October first annually.

(C) Local areas, as defined by either section 101 of the WIA of 1998,112 Stat. 936, 29 U.S.C.A. 2801, as amended, or section 6301.01 of the Revised Code, and subrecipients of a local area are required by section 6301.03 of the Revised Code to establish a workforce development fund, and the entity receiving funds is required to deposit all funds received under section 6301.03 of the Revised Code into the workforce development fund. All expenditures for activities funded under section 6301.03 of the Revised Code are required by that section to be made from the workforce development fund. Local workforce investment areas and subareas are required to record and report interest as earned income to the appropriate WIA program by program and fiscal year. Earned interest can only be used for workforce development fund activities and expenditures and must be held in the local account.

(D) WIA funding will be made available to a local workforce investment area through the area’s designated fiscal agent. WIA funding will be receipted by the designated fiscal agent in the workforce development fund and may only be used for allowable activities for adult, youth, and dislocated worker programs. Expenditures and receipts in the workforce development fund will be reported monthly on the JFS 01992, “Workforce Investment Act Fund Certification Sheet.” This report is due to the ODJFS on the twentieth of the following month.

(E) Direct administration of costs allocation by staff at a county department of job and family services (CDJFS) for WIA programs will take place through local agency staff participation in the random moment sample (RMS) time study as detailed in rules 5101:9-1-04, 5101:9-7-20, and 5101:9-31-01 of the Administrative code. Costs associated with providing direct service by the CDJFS shall be derived through staff participating in the quarterly income maintenance (IM) or social service (SS) RMS time study. The CDJFS will ensure the IM and SS RMS allocate cost pools within the public assistance (PA) fund. The CDJFS will administer costs allocated to WIA funds, as expenditures captured within the PA fund, based on the RMS, and will be transferred to the workforce development fund through a data subset transfer in the central office reporting (CORe) system. This transfer will occur at least once a quarter to ensure expenditures are recorded within the workforce development fund against WIA allocations. Reimbursement of WIA expenditures will only occur based on expenditures recorded within the workforce development fund.

(F) If a local workforce investment area board designates an agency other than a county department of job and family services as the administrative and fiscal agent, costs derived for administration and operation of these programs shall be through the RMS time study. Staff will participate in the WIA RMS time study from which results will be used to distribute costs in the WIA cost pool to the appropriate WIA program.

5101:9-31-06 Workforce Investment Act administration adjustment.

(A) Effective in state fiscal year (SFY) 2005, for county departments of job and family services providing workforce development activities under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the total amount of shared costs allocated to workforce investment act programs by full-time equivalents and random moment sample time studies will not be charged to the WIA administration allocation. These shared costs will instead be charged to WIA programs that include adult, dislocated worker, and youth programs.

(B) County departments of job and family services shall make an adjustment in the WIA data subset only after the public assistance data subset transfer to the WIA data subset has occurred at the local level transferring costs from the adult, dislocated worker, and youth WIA program to the WIA administration based on an appropriately calculated level of administrative costs based on the federal definition of administration for the WIA program as found in 20 C.F.R. 667.220. Administration costs for county departments of job and family services are generally captured in the shared cost pool. Under the WIA program, some of these costs are more appropriately charged as program costs.

(C) The following WIA Title I functions and activities constitute the costs of administration subject to the administrative cost limit:

(1) The costs of administration are that allocable portion of necessary and reasonable allowable costs of state and local workforce investment boards, direct recipients, including state grant recipients under subtitle B of Title I and recipients of awards under subtitle D of Title I, as well as local grant recipients, local grant subrecipients, local fiscal agents, and one-stop operators that are associated with those specific functions identified in paragraph

(C)(2) of this rule and that are not related to the direct provision of workforce investment services, including services to participants and employers.

(2) The costs of administration are the costs associated with performing the following functions:

(a) Performing the following overall general administrative functions and coordination of those functions under WIA Title I:

(i) Accounting, budgeting, financial and cash management functions;

(ii) Procurement and purchasing functions;

(iii) Property management functions;

(iv) Personnel management functions;

(v) Payroll functions;

(vi) Coordinating the resolution of findings arising from audits, reviews, investigations and incident reports;

(vii) Audit functions;

(viii) General legal services functions;

(ix) Developing systems and procedures, including information systems, required for these administrative functions; and

(b) Performing oversight and monitoring responsibilities related to WIA administrative functions;

(c) Costs of goods and services required for administrative functions of the program, including goods and services such as rental or purchase of equipment, utilities, office supplies, postage, and rental and maintenance of office space;

(d) Travel costs incurred for official business in carrying out administrative activities or the overall management of the WIA system; and

(e) Costs of information systems related to administrative functions (for example, personnel, procurement, purchasing, property management, accounting and payroll systems) including the purchase, systems development and operating costs of such systems.

(3) Other costs are associated according to the following:

(a) Awards to subrecipients or vendors that are solely for the performance of administrative functions are classified as administrative costs.

(b) Personnel and related non-personnel costs of staff who perform both administrative functions specified in paragraph (C)(2) of this rule and programmatic services or activities must be allocated as administrative or program costs to the benefiting cost objectives/categories based on documented distributions of actual time worked or other equitable cost allocation methods.

(c) Specific costs charged to an overhead or indirect cost pool that can be identified directly as a program cost are to be charged as a program cost. Documentation of such charges must be maintained.

(d) Except as provided in paragraph (3)(a), all costs incurred for functions and activities of subrecipients and vendors are program costs.

(e) Costs of the following information systems, including the purchase, 5101:9-31-06 2 systems development, and operating (e.g., data entry) costs are charged to the program category:

(i) Tracking or monitoring of participant and performance information;

(ii) Employment statistics information, including job listing information, job skills information, and demand occupation information;

(iii) Performance and program cost information on eligible providers of training services, youth activities, and appropriate activities;

(iv) Local area performance information; and

(v) Information relating to supportive services and unemployment insurance claims for program participants.

(f) Continuous improvement activities are charged to administration or program category based on the purpose or nature of the activity to be improved. Documentation of such charges must be maintained.

(D) Based on the definition of administration for the WIA as found in paragraphs (A) to

(C)(3)(d) of this rule, appropriate administration costs will be calculated using form JFS 01869. This form and all supporting documentation will be maintained at the local level agency while an adjustment transferring costs from program to administration will be made by local workforce investment areas at the end of each quarter of the SFY. Local areas shall report the adjusting entry using direct program and classification codes on the JFS 01992.

(E) When a local area workforce development investment board has competitively procured WIA services with a county department of job and family services, the county department of job and family services is exempted from calculating the WIA administration adjustment and making the transfer. This is only the case when the county department of job and family services becomes a subrecipient of federal funding through a formal procurement process initiated by the area workforce development investment board through the designated fiscal and administrative agent entity, solely for the actual provision of services. In these instances, county departments of job and family services that enter into agreements with workforce development investment boards as service providers for WIA programs will report all costs as program costs.

5101:9-31-13 Disability program navigator initiative.

[This rule designated an Internal Management Rule]

(A) In September 2002, the U.S. department of labor (DOL) and the social security administration (SSA) jointly established a new position, the disability program navigator (DPN), within one-stop centers. The DPN initiative was established to better inform beneficiaries and other persons with disabilities about the work supports available at the one-stop centers. The navigators are responsible for developing new and on-going partnerships to achieve seamless, comprehensive, and integrated access to services, creating systemic change, and expanding the workforce system’s capacity to serve customers with disabilities and employers.

(B) The Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) will allocate funds to local workforce investment areas (LWIA) to support the implementation of the “Disability Program Navigator Initiative.”

(C) On June 5, 2007, Ohio was awarded a DPN grant from the employment and training administration (ETA) in the amount of one million two hundred thousand dollars. Ohio’s grant award includes funding for hiring one state lead navigator, four regional navigators, and nine local navigators to be located in designated local workforce investment areas (LWIA).

(D) Nine awards will be made available in an amount not to exceed sixty-seven thousand dollars to eligible LWIA to support one local DPN full-time staff person, navigator access needs, and outreach. Grant funds may not be used to make modifications to existing structures or real property. This funding source is a work incentive grant and the number assigned to this allocation by the catalog of federal domestic assistance (CFDA) is 17.266.

(E) Ohio will operate the demonstration project in full-service, comprehensive one-stop centers in nine LWIA. Seven of the LWIA will provide the navigator services in one-stop centers located in metropolitan areas and two LWIA will operate in one-stops in non-metropolitan areas.

(F) Participating one-stop centers will use funds to enhance programs, services, and activities to persons with disabilities to assist them in obtaining employment and to become economically self-sufficient.

(G) Subgrantees are responsible for submitting quarterly performance and expenditure reports. The specific requirements for reporting will be provided in future allocation letters. The grant period will begin March 1, 2008. Funds must be expended by March 31, 2009.
