This APMTL provides required financial codes that are to be used to report expenditures of the one-time, 21.4 million dollar, TANF High Performance Bonus Incentive to counties. This bonus incentive is covered by the fiscal agreement and bound by state and federal TANF funding restrictions. Expenditure of these funds in no way entitles counties to future incentives. The TANF High Performance Bonus Incentive allocation has a liquidation period ending September 30, 2005, pursuant to 45 CFR 92.3 and sections 404(e) and 409(a)(1) of the Social Security Act.

This incentive is for TANF non-assistance funding only. To make improvements that will earn future incentives, ODJFS recommends investing this bonus in PRC services. Expenditures will be reported on the JFS 02827 using the following codes:

Line code 2-1259 TANF High Performance Work Activities - financial code 128-53

Line code 2-1233 TANF High Performance PRC Diversion - financial code 108-53

Line code 2-1245 TANF High Performance PRC Transitional - financial code 116-53

Information regarding the TANF bonus incentive is outlined in new Administrative Code Rule 5101:9-8-01 and sections 8370. - 8373. of the Administrative Procedure Manual (APM). In addition, APM section 8300. has been updated to reflect current ODJFS practices regarding performance allocation reporting procedures. Changes include the addition of a new form, JFS 01991, and new rule 5101:9-8-02.

Financial technical assistance related to this rule is available through your Fiscal Supervisor. Any questions related to program implementation should be directed to the Office Of Family Stability at 466-4815.

Instructions: Remove sections 8300. - 8373. of the APM and replace with corresponding pages.(APM.8301. - APM.8399.)
