Ohio Administrative Code › Title 5101:9 - ODJFS Practices › Chapter 5101:9-6 - Allocations › Section 5101:9-6-12 - Title XX federal social services allocation

Current through all
			 regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The Ohio department of job and family
			 services (ODJFS) issues the Title XX federal social services allocation to the
			 county department of job and family services (CDJFS) for expenditures incurred
			 in the operation of social services programs.
(B) This allocation consists of federal funds
			 issued under Title XX of the Social Security Act. The catalog of federal
			 domestic assistance (CFDA) number for this allocation is 93.667.
(C) ODJFS issues this allocation on a federal
			 fiscal year (FFY) basis. ODJFS will communicate the funding period  and liquidation period for this allocation through the
			 county finance information system (CFIS). The CDJFS 
								can disburse and report
			 financial transactions incurred during the funding
			 period no later than the end of the liquidation period.
(D) Methodology
ODJFS uses the following methodology to distribute available
				funds for this allocation.
(1) When
			 the statewide allocation is the same as the preceding year, or has a decrease
			 less than four per cent, ODJFS calculates each county allocation amount by
			 applying the formula listed in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule. ODJFS caps
			 increases and decreases in each county's allocation amount at four per cent of
			 the county's preceding year's allocation. ODJFS proportionately distributes
			 county increases of more than four per cent to counties experiencing more than
			 a four per cent decrease.
(2) When
			 the statewide allocation amount increases from the preceding year:
(a) First, ODJFS distributes to each CDJFS
			 the same allocation amount received in the preceding year.
(b) Once the distribution of initial
			 allocation amounts is complete, ODJFS distributes the statewide increase to the
			 CDJFS by applying the formula listed in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule.
(3) When there is more
			 than a four per cent decrease in the statewide allocation amount from the
			 preceding year, ODJFS does not apply the formula in paragraph (D)(4) of this
			 rule, but decreases each CDJFS's preceding SFY allocation by the percentage of
			 change to the statewide allocation amount.
(4) The formula is as follows:
(a) ODJFS distributes five per cent of the
			 statewide allocation to each CDJFS based on each county's population.
(b) ODJFS distributes five per
			 cent of the statewide allocation to the CDJFS based on each county's property
			 tax wealth factors, as measured by the total of the most recent real estate,
			 public utility, and tangible personal property tax values reported by the Ohio
			 department of taxation and as inversely compared statewide.
(c) ODJFS allocates the remaining balance to
			 the CDJFS using the following methodology:
(i)
			 Fifty per cent is based on the county's population at or below one hundred
			 fifty per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide in the same
			 category.
(ii) Twenty per cent is
			 based on the county's population at or below eighteen years of age and at or
			 below two hundred per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide
			 in the corresponding categories.
(iii) Twenty per cent is based on the
			 county's population at or over fifty-five years of age and at or below the two
			 hundred per cent of the federal poverty level as compared statewide in the
			 corresponding categories.
(iv) Ten
			 per cent is based on the county's average unemployment rate as compared to the
			 average unemployment rate for all eligible counties, utilizing figures from the
			 ODJFS for the most recently available FFY.
