In accordance with section 329.40 of the Revised Code, the Boards of County Commissioners for Defiance and Paulding counties have notified the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services of their intent to form a joint county department of job and family services effective October 1, 2013. The joint department will be known as Defiance/Paulding Consolidated Department of Job and Family Services.
Rule 5101:4-1-16 describes which counties are included as part of a project area and therefore, the rule must be amended to reflect the addition of the Defiance/Paulding Consolidated Department of Job and Family Services.
Chapter 1000
5101:4-1-16, "Food assistance: project area"
This rule establishes approved county collaborations as project areas. This rule is being amended to add the collaboration between Defiance and Paulding counties and to replace citations to House Bill 225 with citations to the Revised Code. As a result, if a recipient moves within the counties in this collaboration, the food assistance group does not have to close, and the individual does not have to reapply.
