FAPL 58 (The Ohio Works First Employment Incentive Pilot Program Allocation)

Fiscal Administrative Procedure Letter No. 58

January 5, 2015

TO: Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Holders

FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director

SUBJECT: The Ohio Works First Employment Incentive Pilot Program Allocation

In accordance with House Bill 483 of the 130th General Assembly, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is issuing $250,000 in TANF funding to a select group of counties participating in the Ohio Works First (OWF) Employment Incentive Pilot Program. The intent of the pilot program is to provide a cash incentive payment to caseworkers that help participants find employment which results in the participant being ineligible for OWF for at least six months due to an increase in earned income.

ODJFS will allocate $50,000 to each of the five selected county agencies for state fiscal year 2015 for the purpose of paying cash incentives to employees. The incentive payments are set at $300 for assisting a single parent household and $600 for assisting a two-parent household.

Funds must be reported and liquidated by December 31, 2015. ODJFS will communicate expenditure coding for the OWF Employment Incentive Pilot Program via a County Finance Information System (CFIS) Alert.

For questions regarding allowable activities please refer to CAMTL 94 for program information. For question regarding coding, please contact the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance at CFIS_HELP_Desk@jfs.ohio.gov.
