The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is amending rule 5101:9-6-80 "State Child Support Allocations" of the Administrative Code.

The most significant changes are:

  • ODJFS will cap the formula-calculated allocation amounts at a four percent annual increase or decrease.
  • The most current final statistical report from the Ohio Department of Health will be used in determining out-of-wedlock percentages.
  • The number of unknown births for each county will be distributed proportionately based on each county's married birth count to unmarried birth count ratio.
  • The specific Supreme Court categories used in the allocation methodology are listed.
  • The number of marriage terminations and dissolutions with children will be determined using the most current final "Ohio Court Statistical Report" from the Ohio Supreme Court.

Please direct inquiries to your ODJFS fiscal supervisor in the Office of Fiscal and Monitoring Services, Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA) at (614) 752-9194.
