FROM: Helen E. Jones-Kelley, Director
SUBJECT: Child Support Incentive Allocation

This letter transmits new Administrative Code rule 5101:9-6-30. The rule describes the distribution of local Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) performance incentives from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). The process described in this rule will be in effect for the state fiscal year (SFY) 2007 through the first quarter of SFY 2008.

CSEA incentive payments are through the child support administrative advance process described in rule 5101:9-7-02 of the Administrative Code.

Incentive payments are based on the ODJFS estimates of the amount of incentives Ohio will receive from the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement during the federal fiscal year (FFY) as described in rule 5101:12-1-54 of the Administrative Code. The exact amount of incentives will be determined during an annual incentive reconciliation at the end of the federal fiscal year (FFY) and ODJFS will make necessary adjustments to the incentive allocation.

Upon the effective date of the rule, it will be added to Chapter 6 - County Funding Sources of the FAPM on the ODJFS web site at http://emanuals.jfs.ohio.gov/.

Should you have questions regarding this FAPMTL, please contact your local fiscal supervisor or the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance at (614) 752-9194.
