Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Transmittal Letter No. 29

FROM: Helen E. Jones-Kelley, Director
SUBJECT: Rescission of Existing Ohio Administrative Code Rule 5101:9-31-02 (Workforce Investment Act [WIA] Allocations) and Filing of New Ohio Administrative Code Rule 5101:9-31-02 (Workforce Investment Act Initial Formulary Allocation Methodology)

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is rescinding the existing Ohio Administrative Code Rule 5101:9-31-02 (WIA Allocations) and replacing it with a new Ohio Administrative Code Rule 5101:9-31-02 entitled "Workforce Investment Act Initial Formulary Allocation Methodology."

A four year rule review by the Office of Fiscal Services determined the language in the existing rule could benefit from further clarification of the formula methodologies used for allocating workforce development funds. Specifically, funding for the designated WIA programs (adult, dislocated worker, and youth) have distinctions in their allocation methodology that necessitate additional clarification language and information.

Questions regarding this fiscal administrative procedure manual transmittal letter may be directed to your ODJFS fiscal supervisor or to the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance at (614) 752-9194.
