Child Care Manual Procedure Letter No. 78
April 21, 2014
TO: All Child Care Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: New County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) Monitoring Forms for Type B Home Inspectors

Background:

Prior to January 1, 2014, Type B Home providers were certified by the County Departments of Job and Family Services (CDJFS).

New Policy:

Type B Home providers are now licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). The CDJFS is responsible for accepting and processing applications and completing compliance inspections for Type B Home providers. Upon the completion of an inspection, CDJFS staff submit a recommendation for a provisional or continuous Type B Home license to ODJFS. Seven forms have been developed to assist with this transition. Four forms will be used by ODJFS staff to monitor CDJFS staff compliance with Ohio Administrative Code rules for inspecting Type B Home providers. Two forms will be used by the CDJFS when making a recommendation for revocation of a Type B Home provider license. The remaining form will be used by the CDJFS when making a recommendation to ODJFS for licensure or closure of a Type B Home provider.

The following Type B Home provider monitoring forms are being proposed as new:

JFS 01351, "County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) File Monitoring Tool," is used by ODJFS to document the review of CDJFS Type B Home provider files.

JFS 01352, "County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) File and Procedure Monitoring Tool," is used by ODJFS to document how the CDJFS meets the requirements for recommending Type B Home providers for licensure.

JFS 01353, "County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) Staff Observation Tool," is used by ODJFS when observing CDJFS staff when they are conducting onsite visits with Type B Home providers.

JFS 01354, "County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) Staff Training Monitoring Tool," is used by ODJFS to document training dates for CDJFS licensing staff.

JFS 01355, "County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) Licensing Action Recommendation Cover Sheet," is used by the CDJFS to recommend a change in the status of a Type B Home provider license.

JFS 01356, "Recommendation for Revocation/Denial of License of Type B Home," is used by the CDJFS to recommend revocation of a Type B Home provider to ODJFS.

JFS 01357, "Matrix for Recommendation for Revocation of Type B Home License," is used by the CDJFS as a supporting document when recommending revocation of a Type B Home provider.
