FAPL 1 (TANF TO CHILD CARE 2 REALLOCATION)
Fiscal Administrative Procedure Letter No. 1
December 20, 2006
TO: Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Holders County Departments of Job and Family Services' Directors
FROM: Barbara E. Riley, Director
SUBJECT: TANF TO CHILD CARE 2 REALLOCATION

In accordance with Ohio Administrative Code rule 5101:9-6-02 (County Allocation Process), paragraph (D)(2) and as outlined in Administrative Procedure Letter 283, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) reallocated up to ten million dollars $10,000,000 from the regular Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) allocation to Child Care 2 allocation in state fiscal year (SFY) 2006. This reallocation is approved for SFY 07, in response to counties' projections that child care administrative expenditures will again exceed current child care administrative funding. The basis for the reallocation will be the written request of a proposed reallocation. The regular TANF allocation is reduced and the Child Care 2 allocation is increased.

If funds are moved to Child Care 2 from TANF, and CDJFS does not exceed Child Care 2, by the amount designated, funds may be restored to TANF.

County Departments of Job and Family Services that wish to transfer TANF regular funds to the special allocation for Child Care 2 must send a letter requesting the proposed reallocation amount from the agency director by December 31, 2006.

County Departments of Job and Family Services that wish to transfer Child Care 2 funds back to TANF regular funds must send a letter requesting the proposed reallocation amount from the agency director by March 31, 2007. All requests shall be sent to:

Franklin D. Blair II, Bureau Chief

Ohio Department of Job and Family Services

Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance

Rhodes State Office Tower-37th Floor

30 East Broad Street

Columbus, Ohio 43215-3414

In the event total requests for reallocation exceed the ten million dollar ($10,000,000) ceiling, the proposed reallocation amounts will be reduced. Any possible reductions in the proposed reallocation amounts having impact to CDJFS are being reviewed and scrutinized. ODJFS may solicit the input of the counties in the development of the criteria for determining reallocation formulas, should such reductions prove necessary.

Questions regarding this administrative procedure letter may be directed to your ODJFS fiscal supervisor or to the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance at (614) 752-9194.
