Ohio Administrative Code › Title 5101:1 - Division of Public Assistance › Chapter 5101:1-3 - Ohio Works First › Section 5101:1-3-10 - Ohio works first: child support requirement

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
  What is an assignment of support?
In accordance with section
	 5107.20 of the Revised Code,
	 participation in Ohio works first (OWF) constitutes an assignment to the Ohio
	 department of job and family services (ODJFS) of any rights that members of an
	 assistance group have to support from any other person, not exceeding the total
	 amount of assistance paid to the assistance group that accrue or have accrued
	 as of and including the date that the OWF cash assistance is terminated. This
	 assignment excludes medical support assigned pursuant to section
	 5160.38 of the Revised Code. The
	 rights to support assigned to ODJFS pursuant to this rule constitutes an
	 obligation to ODJFS for the amount of cash assistance paid to the assistance
	 group. The child support enforcement agency (CSEA) is responsible for the
	 collection and distribution of support payments owed to OWF participants
	 whether assigned to ODJFS or unassigned.
(1) The assignment of support rights
  includes:
(a) The rights to support that the
  assistance group has on its own behalf or on the behalf of any other member of
  the assistance group applying for or in receipt of OWF. This includes ongoing
  monthly child support, spousal support and support for a spouse or former
  spouse, whether included or not in the child support order.
(b) The assignment gives ODJFS the right to
  claim any support collected for the assistance group not exceeding the total
  amount of cash assistance paid to the assistance group. For child support
  enforcement collection purposes, the total amount of "cash assistance" paid to
  the assistance group has the same meaning described in
   rule
  5101:1-1-01 of the
  Administrative Code. This includes all forms of cash assistance as defined in
  rule 5101:1-23-01 of the
  Administrative Code, including support services paid to families who are
  unemployed, unless such payments meet the definition of nonrecurrent short-term
  benefits. As provided in rule
  5101:1-23-01 of the
  Administrative Code, nonrecurrent, short-term benefits and support services
  provided to employed families are not considered to be cash assistance and are not subject to reimbursement.

  medicaid-eligible aged, blind, or disabled adults who have increased needs due
  to a medical condition which is not severe enough to require
  institutionalization. The RSS cash payment is used together with the
  individual's personal income to help prevent premature or unnecessary
  institutionalization, and to deinstitutionalize those aged, blind, or disabled
  adults who have been inappropriately placed in long term care facilities and
  who can return to the community through alternative living arrangements.

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 5101:1 - Division of Public Assistance › Chapter 5101:1-17 - Residential State Supplement Program › Section 5101:1-17-03 - Determination of RSS payment

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								 The residential
  state supplement (RSS) payment to the assistance group shall be equal to the
  difference between the countable income and the financial need standard for the
  appropriate RSS living arrangement.
(B)
								 The approval
  date for the RSS payment cannot precede the signature date on the JFS 07120
  "Residential State Supplement Referral" (rev. 3/2003), the date of placement in
  an appropriate RSS living arrangement, or the date when all financial and
  resource eligibility requirements are met, whichever occurs last.
(C)
								 When
  an individual leaves an RSS placement after the monthly RSS payment has been
  made, a refund of the payment will not be made to the individual. If an
  individual leaves an RSS placement and moves to another RSS living arrangement
  and the monthly RSS payment has been made to the previous residence, a second
  monthly RSS payment will not be made for the new residence.
(D)
								 When an
  individual leaves an RSS placement the CDJFS must determine the individual's
  continued medicaid eligibility. If an adverse action is required (e.g., a
  change to delayed spenddown medicaid) the individual must be afforded hearing
  rights in accordance with Chapter 5101:6-2 of the Administrative Code.
(E)
								 When
  an individual moves from a nursing facility or a personal residence into an RSS
  living arrangement the first day of the month and is otherwise eligible for
  RSS, the individual is eligible for a full month's RSS payment.
(F)
								 When
  an individual moves into an RSS living arrangement on a date other than the
  first of the month and is otherwise eligible for RSS, the first month's payment
  is calculated according to the following formula:
(1)
									 Determine the
  regular monthly RSS payment in accordance with paragraph (A) of this
  rule.
(2)
									 Divide the monthly RSS payment amount by the number of
  days in the month to arrive at the daily supplement amount. Round amounts up to
  the nearest dollar.
(3)
									 Multiply the daily supplement amount by the actual
  number of days of RSS placement in the month. The actual number of days of RSS
  placement in the month includes the day that the individual moves into the RSS
  living arrangement through the last day of the month.
(4)
									 The resulting
  product is the prorated RSS payment.

  is calculated. When this calculation does not result in a whole number, the

  federal fiscal year.
