								 Purpose.
This rule describes the funding of the
				CSEA and the Title IV-D program administered by the Ohio department of job and
				family services (ODJFS).

				funds and appropriations made by the Ohio general assembly, ODJFS will make
				state and federal funds available to the CSEA for allowable child support
				operating expenses.

								 Administrative
			 fund.
In accordance with rule
				5101:9-6-83
				of the Administrative Code, each CSEA has an administrative fund for the
				operation of a child support enforcement program. The CSEA deposits all child
				support funding into the child support administrative fund in accordance with 2
				C.F.R. 200 (12/2014), 45 C.F.R. 75 (12/2014), and 45 C.F.R. 304

				IV-D allowable costs at sixty-six per cent federal financial participation
				(FFP) rate as described in rule
				5101:12-1-50 of
				the Administrative Code. FFP reimbursement is available for reasonable and
				necessary CSEA expenditures for Title IV-D services and activities properly
				attributable to the operation of the support enforcement program. The catalog

											 The funds are
			 not used to match other federal funds.
