Effective with state fiscal year 2010, a CDJFS will have the flexibility to meet its individual county needs by applying the TANF mandated share to expenditures under the food assistance and Medicaid programs. ODJFS will calculate the TANF portion of each county's mandated share and add half the amount to the food assistance budget and half of the amount to the Medicaid budget. A CDJFS may request ODJFS to transfer all or a portion of the amount to the TANF allocation at any time during the state fiscal year. Details regarding this change and a list of the applicable programs is in the amended Administrative Code rule 5101:9-6-31 "County Share of Public Assistance Expenditures and the Mandated Share Budget."
