Pursuant to section 3125.25 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 of the rule as identified below and of a public hearing thereon.

 

Rule 5101:9-7-23, entitled Child support random moment sample time study, is being proposed  for  amendment.  Amending  this  rule  will  make  it  compatible  with  the requirements found in rule 5101:9-7-20 of the Administrative Code. This rule sets forth the random moment sample (RMS) methodology used to measure the activity of county child  support  enforcement  agency  (CSEA)  staff  related  to  child  support  program activities. Data collected from the time studies are used to calculate allocation statistics used to distribute cost pool expenditures to the appropriate programs. The percentages are used by the CSEA to distribute administrative funds. The change to the rule is that a CSEA with ten or fewer participating random moment related positions will only be required to complete a minimum of thirty-three observations per participating position.

 

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].
