Rescinded RuleRescinded Rule TitlePrior Effective Date of RuleEffective Date of Rescission
5101:1‑29‑35Medical support10/1/200110/02/2006
 Note: This rule is being reviewed in accordance with Section 119.032 of the Revised Code, which requires the review of all state agency rules within a five-year period. It is being proposed for rescission. The information in this rule, with the exception of the last sentence, is already contained in the following OAC rules: 5101:1‑29‑13, 5101:1‑29‑35.1, 5101:1‑29‑35.2, 5101:1‑29‑35.6, 5101:1‑29‑36, 5101:1‑31‑14, and 5101:12‑10‑31.2. The last sentence, which states that a CSEA is not required to seek medical payments from a third party, is not found elsewhere in OCS rules, but is also not necessary to state in rule. OCS plans to rescind rule 5101:1‑29‑35 and capture any relevant information in new medical support rules that will be renumbered under division 5101:12. These new rules will be posted in a future Clearance.

4. Clarified that the FIDM program is based on matches obtained from the federal offset list;
5. Referenced the JFS 04054, "Notice of Determination on Amount of Ownership;" and
