Ohio Administrative Code › Title 5101:9 - ODJFS Practices › Chapter 5101:9-6 - Allocations › Section 5101:9-6-82 - Inter-county adjustment of allocations (ICAA)

Current through all regulations passed and filed
			 through July 1, 2024
(A)
			 The ICAA is a process for county
			 family services agencies (CFSAs), as defined in rule
			 5101:9-6-50 of the
			 Administrative Code, to facilitate inter-county allocation requests for
			 additional and/or release of funds.
(B) Subject to the requirement of this rule,
			 the Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) will execute the request
			 to adjust allocated funds based on the completion, acceptance, and submission
			 of the inter-county transfer budget request in the county finance information
			 system (CFIS). Proposed transactions and final agreements regarding the
			 adjustment of funds will be initiated and entered into by the agencies
			 involved. ODJFS will not be a party to or participate in any proposed or final
			 inter-county adjustment agreements with any CFSA. However, in the event there
			 are funding problems with one or more of the funds, the director of ODJFS may
			 limit fund sources, either partially or totally, that are available for an
			 exchange of allocation amounts between counties.
(C) ODJFS notifies the CFSA of county
			 allocation funding levels through subgrant notices issued through CFIS. The
			 allocation amounts listed in the CFIS notice, less any draws against the
			 allocation amounts, will be the maximum amount eligible for
			 ICAA funds.
(D) If statewide budget reductions or
			 increases occur during the funding period,  changes
			 to the CFSA budget will be
			 based on the budget amounts that
			 ODJFS has on record as of the effective date for the announced
			 budget change. The funding period is the period in
			 which services are performed and/or provided. Pending adjustments will not be a
			 factor in the calculation.
(E)
			 Inter-county agreements can only be made between similar CFSAs. Agreements
			 involving public assistance (PA) funds can only be made between county
			 departments of job and family services (CDJFSs). Agreements involving public
			 children service agency (PCSA) funds can only be made between PCSAs. Agreements
			 involving child support enforcement agency (CSEA) funds can only be made
			 between CSEAs.
(F) When two CFSAs
			 agree to an inter-county transfer of funding, each CFSA shall complete the
			 inter-county transfer budget request in CFIS which shall serve as the agreement
			 between the county directors involved in the transaction.
(1) The director of the CFSA or another
			 designee releasing funds is certifying the following when submitting an
			 inter-county transfer budget request in CFIS:
(a) Sufficient funding levels remain to
			 provide mandated services for the remainder of the funding period;
(b) If the funding source is temporary
			 assistance for needy families (TANF), Ohio works first (OWF), medicaid, or food
			 assistance (FA) funding, all mandated services for the remainder of the state
			 fiscal year (SFY) will be provided, regardless of funding; and
(c) The fund release does not leave the
			 county with an amount below the previous SFY expenditure level.
