The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is providing federal ARPA funding for SNAP administrative expenses.

This allocation consists of one hundred per cent federal funds. The Assistance Listing Number (ALN), formerly known as catalog of federal domestic assistance (CFDA) number for the SNAP ARPA allocation is 10.561.

ODJFS will distribute funds to the County Departments of Job and Family Service (CDJFS) agencies using the methodology outlined in current Administrative Code Rule 5101:9-6-05 "Income Maintenance Allocations" paragraph (D).

For state fiscal year (SFY) 21, counties may claim expenditures beginning March 11, 2021 and obligated by September 30, 2021. For funding available in future SFYs, ODJFS will communicate the funding period and liquidation period through the county finance information system (CFIS).

Counties will expend allocations via a financial coding adjustment which will be communicated by the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA).

For fiscal questions please contact your ODJFS Fiscal Supervisor or the BCFTA Helpdesk at CFIS_Help_Desk@jfs.ohio.gov.
