FAPMTL 43 (Income Maintenance, Workforce, Social Services, and Child Welfare Random Moment Sample (RMS) Time Studies)
Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Transmittal Letter No. 43
September 27, 2007
TO: Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Holders
FROM: Helen E. Jones-Kelley, Director
SUBJECT: Income Maintenance, Workforce, Social Services, and Child Welfare Random Moment Sample (RMS) Time Studies

To reflect recommended changes in the random moment sample (RMS) observation form codes and definitions, the income maintenance (IM) and social services (SS) random moment sample (RMS) forms have been revised to include a more complete code set, thus eliminating the need for some agencies to complete separate forms. Specific codes used to address worker absences have also been removed. The RMS coordinator will use the appropriate code to indicate the "position idle or invalid response."

The most significant revisions to rule 5101:9-7-20 of the Administrative Code are:

  • Reference to IMRMS and WFRMS program "495" (common to several programs) and activity "955" (leave) has been stricken.
  • Reference to SSRMS and CWRMS program "100" (all SSRMS) and activity "391" (other services non-related) has been stricken.
  • Reference to rule 5101:9-7-22 of the Administrative Code has been removed.

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