FAPL 50 (Fraud Awareness Allocation)

Fiscal Administrative Procedure Letter No. 50

April 7, 2014

TO: All Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Holders

FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director

SUBJECT: Fraud Awareness Allocation

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is issuing state funding to the County Departments of Jobs and Family Services (CDJFS) to promote fraud awareness in Ohio. ODJFS has designated the month of May as Public Assistance Fraud Awareness month in Ohio. The theme for the Fraud Awareness campaign is "Fraud Costs All of Us."

ODJFS will allocate up to $2,000 to any CDJFS with a local fraud awareness initiative that has been approved by the Office of Fiscal and Monitoring Services (OFMS) Bureau of Program Integrity (BPI).

ODJFS will issue coding for the Fraud Awareness allocation and further information regarding expenditure reporting via a Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA) update. Funds must be obligated by June 30, 2014, reported and liquidated by September 30, 2014.

For questions regarding allowable activities please refer to the OFMS BPI memo "County Agency Initiatives for Fraud Awareness Month." For questions regarding coding contact your ODJFS Fiscal Supervisor or BCFTA Help Desk at (614)752-9194.
