New Administrative Code rule 5101:9-7-22 outlines a process for monitoring and reviewing the Random Moment Time Study (the federally approved method of cost allocation for administrative costs associated with child support, child welfare, social services, income maintenance, public assistance/ diversion and workforce development programs). Upon filing of this rule, the Fiscal Supervisors from ODJFS Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA) will be responsible for conducting reviews at Public Children Services, Child Support Enforcement, Workforce Development and Job and Family Service agencies.

Information obtained during RMS reviews will be used first to determine training needs in each local agency and subsequently in developing agency specific training programs. This review process is not an audit and review results will be shared with local agency staff for continuous improvement. Reviews conducted by fiscal supervisors of the BCFTA are not designed to detect all possible errors that may eventually arise in audit findings.

Please direct inquiries to your Fiscal Supervisor.
