the ODHS 7118.
Due to the recent flood and tornado devastation, twenty six counties in Ohio are granted additional funding for the ADA program. The counties affected by this transmittal are Athens, Belmont, Coshocton, Delaware, Franklin, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Knox, Licking, Marion, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Ottawa, Perry, Pickaway, Richland, Sandusky, Tuscarawas, and Washington. Other counties may be added if declared by the Governor to be in a state of emergency.
On June 30, 1998, the Department issued APL 252 regarding TANF funds provided for disaster related PRC assistance for families in those counties in which the Governor declared a state of emergency.
Non TANF funds are available to provide a one time ADA $500 cash payment to needy individuals without a minor child who have been adversely affected by the emergency condition. Only one $500 Adult Disaster Assistance payment can be made per dwelling. If a disaster related PRC payment (pursuant to APL 252) has been made on behalf of a resident of the same dwelling, there is no eligibility for Adult Disaster Assistance.
In order to qualify for an ADA payment , the following conditions must be met:
1.The individual must be a resident of one of the designated counties, and;
2.The individual must have been adversely affected by the emergency condition, and;
3.The individual must be in need. For the purpose of this provision, need is determined by comparing the household's total available income to 200% of the federal poverty level for the appropriate household size.
The attached model application has been developed for county use when an individual requests ADA. The CDHS may develop their own application or reproduce the attached model application. This issuance is not tracked electronically and should not be entered into the CRIS E system.
The affected counties must submit a revised Cash Forecast diskette to the County Finance Section estimating these additional expenditures in order to receive a supplement to the PA Fund advance (APM 7353). The CDHS must use the code contained in the table below to report ADA expenditures. This code will be added to the next issuance of the ODHS 2827 Code List and may only be used during a Governor declared state of emergency.
