Section 5101:9-4-88 - Subrecipient management requirements for pass-through entities(A) Each county family services agency (CFSA) and local workforce development board (LWDB), as a subrecipient of the Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS), are required to manage and monitor their subrecipients as stated in 2 C.F.R. part 200, subpart D, "Subrecipient Monitoring and Management" updated as of April 26, 2021. All of the processes in this rule are to be documented and supported by the CFSA and LWDB: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title02/2cfr200_main_02.tpl
(B) Definitions: (1) Non-federal entity (NFE): an entity that carries out a federal award as a subrecipient. CFSAs and LWDBs are NFEs.(2) Subrecipient: A NFE that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a federal program. CFSAs and LWBDs are subrecipients and they can also pass-through federal funds to organizations which become their subrecipients.(3) Pass-through entity (PTE): a NFE that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal program. CFSAs and LWDBs become their PTE.(4) Subaward: (ie: subgrant agreement) an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a federal award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract.(C) A PTE shall: (1) Determine if a subrecipient or a contractor relationship exists as stated in 2 C.F.R. part 200.331 "Subrecipient and contractor determinations."(b) Subaward agreements funded in whole or in part with federal funds do not represent acquisitions and therefore the procurement standards do not apply, as outlined in paragraph (A)(2) of rule 5101:9-4-07 of the Administrative Code, unless procurement is mandated by another federal, state, or local rule.(2) Ensure that the subaward is clearly identified as stated in 2 C.F.R. part 200.332 "Requirements for pass-through entities." When some of the listed information in 2 C.F.R. part 200.332 "Requirements for pass-through entities" is not available, the PTE must provide the best information available to describe the federal subaward.
(4) The risk assessment in paragraph (C)(3) of this rule will help to determine the scope that the CFSA and LWDB use for the required monitoring of the subrecipient as outlined in 2 C.F.R. part 200.332 "Requirements for pass-through entities."Ohio Admin. Code 5101:9-4-88
