Rule 5101:9-6-28 | Title IV-E administration and training funding.
(A) The Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) provides federal funding to Title IV-E agencies pursuant to Title IV-E of the federal Social Security Act.
(B) ODJFS issues Title IV-E funding to provide federal financial participation (FFP) for administration and training costs. The county public children services agency (PCSA) must provide state allocated general revenue funds or local funds for the nonfederal share. When the nonfederal share includes donated funds, rule 5101:9-7-50 of the Administrative Code must be followed.
(C) The assistance listing numbers (ALN) for Title IV-E funding are 93.658 and 93.659.
(1) Foster care maintenance Title IV-E administration and training costs are reported under ALN 93.658; and
(2) Adoption assistance Title IV-E administration and training costs are reported under ALN 93.659.
(D) Administration and training-reimbursement costs.
(1) Any administrative or training cost charged to the Title IV-E program may not be charged concurrently to another federal program. The results of the random moment sampling (RMS) and the statewide percentage of Title IV-E eligible child placement days is statistically applied to the statewide social services cost pool to derive the cost of reimbursable Title IV-E activities for the statewide Title IV-E administration and training claim to the federal government. Costs are claimed separately for FCM based on the statewide automated child welfare information system (SACWIS) population data.
(2) The results of the random moment sampling (RMS) are statistically applied to the social services cost pool or the child welfare cost pool to derive the costs that are allowable for the calculation of Title IV-E administration and training claim.
(3) The statewide automated child welfare information system (SACWIS) IV-E eligibility ratios are applied to the calculation from paragraph (D)(2) of this rule to obtain the total allowable Title IV-E administration and training costs.
(4) The Title IV-E FFP rate of either fifty per cent or seventy-five per cent is applied to the calculation in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule to determine the total Title IV-E claim.
(E) Title IV-E administration and training reimbursement.
(1) The Title IV-E claim determined in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule is reduced by no more than three per cent of the FFP received as described in section 5101.141 of the Revised Code.
(2) Reimbursement for Title IV-E administration and training is issued to the PCSA six months after a financial quarter is closed in the county finance information system (CFIS) except for PCSAs that did not submit to the Ohio administrative knowledge system (OAKS) during the preliminary submission as mentioned in rule 5101:9-7-01.1 of the Administrative Code.
(F) The definitions, requirements, and responsibilities contained in rule 5101:9-6-50 of the Administrative Code are applicable to this rule.
