Ohio Administrative Code › Title 5101:9 - ODJFS Practices › Chapter 5101:9-6 - Allocations › Section 5101:9-6-12.1 - Title XX temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) transfer 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 TANF transfer allocation to the county
			 department of job and family services (CDJFS) to support programs and services
			 to children and/or their families whose income is less than two hundred per
			 cent of the federal poverty level (FPL).
(B) ODJFS issues this
			 allocation on a federal fiscal year (FFY) basis. ODJFS communicates 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.
(C) The Title XX TANF transfer allocation
			 consists of one hundred per cent federal funds. The originating catalog of federal domestic assistance
			 (CFDA) number for this allocation is 93.558. In accordance with CFDA number
			 93.558, expenditures for money transferred out of TANF and into Title XX
			 
								are
			 considered as expenditures for the Title XX program and reported under
			 CDFA number 93.667.
(D) Methodology
ODJFS uses the following methodology to distribute the Title XX
				TANF transfer allocation.
(1) When the
			 statewide allocation is the same as the preceding year, or has a decrease of
			 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 Title XX TANF transfer allocation 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) 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 state wide
			 increase amount 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 grant 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) Forty 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) 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 federal fiscal year (FFY).
