Title: State High Performance Bonus
System (HPBS) Transmission File
Layouts for HPBS Work Measures.
OMB No.: 0970–0230.
Description: This revises the notice
that appeared in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2008 (Volume 73, Number
194). It clarifies the fact that there is no
longer a High Performance Bonus
associated with this information
collection. The Deficit Reduction Act of
2005 (Pub. L. 109–171) eliminated the
funding for the High Performance Bonus
(HPB), but we are still requesting that
States continue to submit data necessary
to calculate the work measures
previously reported under the HPB.
Specifically, the TANF program was
reauthorized under the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005. The statute
eliminated the funding for the HPB
under section 403(a)(4). Nevertheless
the Department is required under
section 413(d) to annually rank State
performance in moving TANF recipients
into private sector employment. We are,
therefore, requesting that States
continue to transmit monthly files of
adult TANF recipients necessary to
calculate the work measures
performance data. To the extent States
do not provide the requested
information, we will extract the
matching information from the TANF
Data Report. This may result in
calculation of the work performance
measures based on sample data, which
would provide us less precise
information on States’ performance.
The Transmission File Layouts form
provides the format that States will
continue to use for the quarterly
electronic transmission of monthly data
on TANF adult recipients. States that
have separate TANF–MOE files on these
programs are also requested to transmit
similar files. We are not requesting any
changes to the Transmission File
Layouts form.
Respondents: Respondents may
include any of the 50 States, the District
of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands.
