Finding Text
Ohio Administrative Code § 5101:9-7-10 (B) states pursuant to 45 C.F.R. part 96, states are required to report services provided by the County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS), using federal, state or local social services funds. The CDJFS may provide services through compact services, direct services, purchased services or grant agreements as defined in rule 5101:2-25-02 of the Administrative Code. The purpose of the SSBG quarterly summary reporting system is to collect social services expenditure data by county each quarter in order to complete annual federal reporting as mandated in 42 U.S.C. 1397e. Further, Ohio Administrative Code § 5101:9-7-10 (C) states each CDJFS shall enter required service and expenditure data in the SSBG reporting system no later than the thirtieth day of the month following the last month of the quarter, e.g., October thirtieth for the July through September time period. The CDJFS shall submit a Title XX SSBG quarterly report even if SSBG direct services were not provided or purchased service expenditures were not made during the quarter. During testing of Quarter 2 for 2024, the expenditure data reported by the CDJFS for program code 738 was overstated $38,369 due to the CDJFS using the incorrect total from the CR454A report. This could result in delays in funding from CDJFS draw requests. Job and Family Services Fiscal Staff should review the data prepared for the quarterly reported prior to submission to ensure it does agree back to the underlying ledgers for quarterly expenditures.
