Pursuant to sections 3125.25 and 5101.02 and Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code, the director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services gives notice of the department's intent to consider the amendment, rescission, and adoption of the rules as identified below and of a public hearing thereon.

 

Rule  5101:9-7-02.1,  entitled  Child  support  enforcement  agency  (CSEA)  quarterly reconciliation, is being proposed for amendment to reflect the current funding practices of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. This rule sets forth changes brought about by modifications to the web-based county finance information system (CFIS Web) as it relates to the administration of the child support enforcement program. Monthly financial data will be submitted via CFIS Web. The local CSEA is accountable for the child  support  fund  as  reconciled  each  quarter  and  shall  review  reports  and  make adjustments and/or corrections prior to the final approval and submission of financial data for the closing quarter. No later than five business days after the eighteenth day of the month following the last month of the quarter, the CSEA may submit the information by approving the final adjustments and/or revisions to the Ohio administrative knowledge system (OAKS) in the web-based county finance information system (CFIS Web). Once the five-day review period is complete, Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) suspends reporting access to CFIS Web for the closing quarter in order to begin the quarter reconciliation process. ODJFS reconciles refunds and collections at the end of each quarter. State funded allocations and federally funded subgrants are reconciled at the end of their period of availability. The period of availability includes the funding period and the liquidation period. ODJFS may make adjustments as necessary to fully reconcile federal grants and/or state allocations that are being closed.

 

A copy of the proposed rule is available, without charge, to any person affected by the rule at the address listed below. The rule is also available on the internet at  http://www.registerofohio.state.oh.us/. A public hearing on the proposed rule will be held at the date, time, and location listed at the top of this notice. Either written or oral testimony will be taken at the public hearing. Additionally, written comments submitted or postmarked no later than the date of the public hearing will be treated as testimony.

 

Requests for a copy of the proposed rule or comments on the rule should be submitted by mail to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Office of Legal and Acquisition Services, 30 East Broad Street, 31st Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3414, by fax at [phone], or by e-mail at [e-mail].
