FROM: Barbara E. Riley, ODJFS Director
SUBJECT: Ohio Human Services Training System (OHSTS) - Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Training Subsidies for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 06/07

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is disbursing two TANF training subsidies to fund training for county caseworker/supervisory staff that perform TANF, Ohio Works First (OWF), Prevention, Retention and Contingency (PRC),or other TANF funded services activities. The training subsidies will be provided to four counties who will serve as Regional Training Centers (RTCs) in the Ohio Human Services Training System (OHSTS) and be responsible for addressing statewide training needs identified by county departments of job and family services (CDJFS) in the service areas served by each RTC. The four counties which serve as OHSTS Regional Training Centers are:

Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services

Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services

Lucas County Department of Job and Family Services

Summit County Department of Job and Family Services

Subsidy information: Each county hosting an RTC will receive subsidies totaling $62,500, per fiscal year, to support TANF training costs. This financing support will be issued in two components; an operating subsidy, and a cost of instruction subsidy.

The operating subsidy component will be reflected as a supplement of $21,875 to the county's general TANF allocation. The operating subsidy is meant to compensate the RTC county for manpower costs associated with its procurement and provision of TANF training. Such manpower costs will not be permitted to be direct charged to the supplement. Instead, all county manpower costs will be distributed per normal cost allocation procedures.

The cost of instruction subsidy supplement is $40,625 and is meant to compensate the RTC county for its direct and out-of-pocket costs associated with procuring and providing TANF training. The cost of instruction subsidy will be issued in the form of a separate allocation. Allowable and unallowable costs for this allocation are noted separately below.

Rule 5101:9-6-48 of the Ohio Administrative Code is rescinded.
