5101:9-6-37 Title IV-B allocation.

(A) The Title IV-B allocation reimburses the county for delivery of children services as described in the Ohio child and family services plan.

(B) This allocation consists of federal funds. The catalog of federal domestic assistance (CFDA) number for this allocation is 93.645. The county must use eligible state funding or provide local funds at a twenty-five per cent match rate for the nonfederal share. When the nonfederal share includes donated funds, rule 5101:9-7-50 of the Administrative Code must be followed.

(C) The Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) issues this allocation by grant period. Expenditures in excess of the allocation amount are the responsibility of the county agency.

(D) ODJFS uses the following methodology to distribute available funds:

(1) Forty per cent is distributed with each county receiving an equal share.

(2) Sixty per cent is distributed based upon the county’s number of children below one hundred per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide in the same category, utilizing the most recent available United States bureau of census figures.

(E) Current period Title IV-B expenditures cannot exceed the amount claimed to the federal government in FFY 2005. Therefore, the reimbursement for foster care maintenance and adoption assistance payments are limited to the county claim for FFY 2005.

(F) The public children services agency (PCSA) can charge expenditures outlined in the Ohio child and family services plan against this allocation.

(G) The county agency reports expenditures on the JFS 02820 “Children Services Monthly Financial Statement” (rev. 3/2004) and/or the JFS 02827 “Monthly Financial Statement” (rev. 11/2000).

(H) The definitions, requirements, and responsibilities contained in rule 5101:9-6-50 of the Administrative Code are applicable to this rule.
