Fiscal year 2006 is the first full year to be planned without the consolidated allocation structure that existed from 1998 until August 2004. Beginning with state fiscal year (SFY) 2006, the creation of the Title XX Base allocation allows the state to disburse these funds to counties while remaining compliant with federal and state regulations. This allocation funds services for all eligible populations without regard to income or family status.

Allocations are based on the availability of federal funds and appropriations by the Ohio General Assembly and are subject to reductions if ODJFS determines that available federal funds or state appropriations are insufficient to support the allocation.

Please direct questions regarding this allocation as established in rule 5101:9-6-12.2 of the Administrative Code to your fiscal supervisor or Don Foster, Section Chief, County Finance, at (614) 752-9194.
