In accordance with section 106.03 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), each state agency is required to review each of its rules in the Ohio Administrative Code a minimum of once every five years.  The intent of the review is to ensure that Administrative Code rules are clearly written and that program requirements are accurate, up-to-date and clearly expressed.  To the extent possible, unnecessary paperwork will be eliminated, local agencies will be given increased flexibility, and any adverse impact on businesses will be eliminated or reduced.  As a result of the review, the agency may amend the rule; rescind the rule; or continue the rule without amendment.

The Office of Family Assistance (OFA) has completed a review of the following rule(s) and the rule has been subject to a review by the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR).  The rule will become effective on 02/01/2020.

5101:1-2-90 "The Ohio Works First Employment Incentive Program."

The rule describes a pilot program that provides a cash incentive payment to caseworkers in participating counties to help Ohio Works First (OWF) participants find employment that leads to the participant being ineligible for OWF.  OFA rescinded this rule because it refers to expired temporary law in section 751.35 of Am. Sub. H.B. No. 483.
