Ohio SACWIS is used to determine a child's eligibility for adoption subsidies. The system creates a record each time you record a subsidy request. The record is completed when an eligibility determination is made and the subsidy is approved or denied. The system also allows you to record appeal decisions.
These are the types of adoption subsidies tracked in Ohio SACWIS:
Adoption Assistance (AA)
State Adoption Maintenance Subsidy (SAMS)
Post-Adoption Special Services Subsidy (PASSS)
For AA and SAMS, the subsidy must be reviewed at least once a year to ensure that the child meets the requirements for continued eligibility. These review records also appear on the adoption subsidy history.
View an adoption subsidy history as follows:
From the Home screen, click the Financial tab.
Click the Eligibility tab.
Click the Adoption Subsidy link in the navigation bar on the left. The Adoption Subsidy Program screen appears.
Click Person Search and locate and select the child whose subsidy history you want to view. The system searches for the child's adoptive case first. If there is no adoptive case, the system searches for any case in which the child is a participant.
When you select the child from the search
results, the system returns you to the Adoption
Subsidy Program screen. It displays the child's original person
ID number, as well as the child's name, age, and case ID number.
OR
Enter the child's person ID and click Go.
The Subsidy History table displays the records of any subsidies. The Review History table displays the records of any subsidy reviews.
