The Title IV-B allocation will increase funds available to support caseworker visits of children in substitute care, as described in rule 5101:9-6-37.2 of the Administrative Code.

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) received $1.47 million in Title IV-B, subpart 2, funds under the Child and Family Services Improvement Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-288). This funding is being made available to assist public children services agencies (PCSAs) in meeting new federal performance standards related to visitation of children in substitute care by the caseworker handling the case of the child.

Reimbursement for allowable costs is to be claimed on the JFS 02820 "Monthly Financial Statement" using line code 2-6404 and funding source code 6045 for direct charges. Staff costs allocable to the allocation will be reimbursed through the SSRMS and certification process. The certification form will be revised and issued in the near future.

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