This letter is being issued to announce the extension of certain incentive awards currently available to the counties and to clarify the effective dates of existing incentives set to expire this year.
Effective immediately, ODJFS is providing notice of an extension of the FY 2004 High Performance Award as outlined in rule 5101:9 8 03 of the Administrative Code. This Award will be extended from September 30, 2006 to September 30, 2007. Services must be provided by June 30, 2007 and liquidated by September 30, 2007. All unspent FY04 award allocation balances will be canceled as of September 30, 2007. This extension is intended to provide county agencies with a further opportunity to fully and appropriately use these TANF funds in accordance with program requirements.
