Notes to SEFA
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Allen County (the County) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting, except expenditures passed through the Greater Ohio Workforce Board, Inc. which are presented on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the United States Department of Labor. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
The County has elected not to use the de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The County has a revolving loan fund (RLF) program to provide low-interest loans to businesses to create jobs for low to moderate income persons and also to lend money to eligible persons to rehabilitate homes. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants money for these loans to the County, passed through the Ohio Department of Development. The Schedule reports loans made and administrative costs as disbursement on the Schedule. Subsequent loans are subject to the same compliance requirements imposed by HUD as the initial loans. These loans are collateralized by second position mortgages on the land and building on behalf of the County for HUD.
The current cash balance on the County’s local program income account as of December 31, 2025, is $744,923.
Certain Federal programs require the County to contribute non-Federal funds (matching funds) to support the Federally-funded programs. The County has met its matching requirements. The Schedule does not include the expenditure of non-Federal matching funds.
During 2025, the County made allowable transfers of $135,605 from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) (Assistance Listing (AL) Number 93.558) program to the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) (AL Number 93.667) program. The Schedule shows the County spent approximately $5,317,243 on the TANF program. The amount reported for the TANF program on the Schedule excludes the amount transferred to the SSBG program. The amount transferred to the SSBG program is included as SSBG expenditures when disbursed. The following table shows the gross amount drawn for the TANF program during fiscal year 2025 and the amount transferred to the SSBG program.
