The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is amending Administrative Code rule 5101:9-6-82 "Inter-county adjustment of allocations" to reflect that the inter-county transfer of funds will no longer be limited to twice per year. Counties may enter into agreements at any time during the state fiscal year (July 1 through June 30), provided the agreements have been received by the Office of Fiscal and Monitoring Services, Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA) by the last day of the state fiscal year.

The rule has also been amended to reflect current policies regarding regular and administration allocations under temporary assistance for needy families (TANF), as well as non-administration, administration and quality child care allocations. The "Notice of Intent to Participate in Inter-county Adjustment of Allocated Funds (JFS 02718)" and "Inter-County Agreement and Certification Release and Acceptance of Funds (JFS 02719)" have also been revised.

If a county department of job and family services (CDJFS) wants to notify other counties of the availability of or need for additional funding, the CDJFS will submit the JFS 02718 to ODJFS. The intent to participate information will be posted on the BCFTA website (https://jfs.ohio.gov/ofs/bcfta/tools/tools.stm) as a reference for other county agencies.

Should you have questions regarding this FAPMTL, please contact your ODJFS fiscal supervisor in the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance at (614) 752-9194.
