May 25, 2012
TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Michael B. Colbert, Director
SUBJECT: Title IV-E Foster Care Expenditure Report - JFS 04281

This procedure letter is to inform Public Children Service Agencies (PCSA) that the JFS 04281 (Children Services Quarterly Statistical Report) processed through the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS) for the data period January through March 2012 should not be used for the April through June 2012 Cost Quarter due to additional needed fixes that were discovered.

This letter is also to inform PCSA that there is no longer a requirement to complete the "Independent Living Services for Children in Custody" in Part one and the "Independent Living Services for Emancipated Youth" in Part two beginning with the April through June Cost Quarter. This change will also be captured in SACWIS for future reporting.

The JFS 04281 "Children Services Quarterly Statistical Report" (rev. 2/2010) and the JFS 04281-I "Instructions for completing JFS 04281 Children Services Quarterly Statistical Report" (rev. 2/2010) have been reinstated on the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Forms Central web site for use until further notice. The JFS 04281 has not been revised to remove Part One and Part Two as the form was reinstated prior to the change in the completion requirements.
