FCASPL 77 (Title IV-E 6 Month Cost Report - Archive)
Family, Children and Adult Services Procedure Letter No. 77
November 25, 2003
TO: All Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Thomas J. Hayes, Director
SUBJECT: Changes Regarding the Filing of the Title IV-E Sixth Month Cost Report Due December 31, 2003

Paragraph (A)(3) of rule 5101:2-47-26.1 Public children services agencies (PCSA), private child placing agencies (PCPA), private noncustodial agencies (PNA): monitoring Title IV-E cost report filing, record retention requirements and related party disclosure requirements states: "For the six-month period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003, a six-month Title IV-E cost report reflecting cost for the six-month period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003, shall be filed with ODJFS by December 31, 2003." The rule is in the process of being amended to eliminate this requirement. Effective immediately ODJFS will not be requiring adherence to this provision of the rule.

ODJFS will utilize the reimbursement ceiling amounts established from the private agencies calendar year 2002 cost reports and the updated inflation factor to recalculate the reimbursement ceiling amounts for the rate period covering September 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005. Beginning with the effective rate period of April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, ODJFS will utilize the private agencies audited single cost report to calculate the reimbursement ceiling amount.
