This rule describes the requirements for submitting the JFS 04234 "Annual Full-Time Equivalent Report" to OCS, and other required financial reports to the Office of Fiscal and Monitoring Services within ODJFS. Changes from the existing rule include: deleted the reference to JFS 02712 as the form is obsolete and the information must be submitted electronically to the Office of Fiscal and Monitoring Services through their database system; and added language directing the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) to follow the instructions stated in rules 5101:9‑6‑83, 5101:9‑7‑02.1, 5101:9‑7‑23, and 5101:9‑7‑29 of the Administrative Code.

The rule describes the process by which a CSEA enters into a IV-D contract with a governmental entity or a private entity; the rule lists the types of IV-D contracts and the procurement process, terms and definitions and the required contracts forms. The rule is being amended to change the effective date of the JFS 07018 "IV-D Contract" as the form was revised to correct the numbering sequence.
This rule is authorized by ORC section 3125.25, and amplifies ORC sections 3125.13, 3125.14, 3125.141, and 3125.17.
