The federal sanctions in this chapter only apply if the State of Ohio receives a sanction from HHS or USDA. Effective FFY 1997, federal sanctions are assessed based on the FFY used in assessing the state sanction. These sanctions apply to all counties regardless if there is a signed partnership agreement.

The county is required to deposit county general funds in the amount of the sanction into the PA Fund within the SFY the county is notified of the sanction. Additional county funds must be deposited to cover county and state expenditures to the level of the federal sanction made during the appropriate FFY. ODHS assesses the county sanction amount as an audit finding for the federal program assessing the sanction on the ODHS 2827 Monthly Financial Statement. The county agency must report all sanction activity on the ODHS 2827 Monthly Financial Statement (APM 7902).
