The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is rescinding the existing rule 5101:9-6-28 of the Administrative Code and issuing a new 5101:9-6-28. The new rule has been re-formatted for clarity and more accurately reflects recent changes with the implementation of the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS). The rule also clarifies Title IV-E funding distributed by ODJFS to county agencies responsible for the administration of child welfare programs and to adoptive parents.

The new rule incorporates the following changes:

• The catalog of federal domestic assistance (CFDA) numbers for Title IV-E funding have been included;
• CFDA 93.658 governs Title IV-E Foster Care;
• CFDA 93.659 governs Adoption Assistance; and
• References to the Family and Children Services Information System (FACSIS) have been removed.

Questions may be directed to your ODJFS fiscal supervisor or to the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance at (614) 752-9194.
