Proposed Projects:
Title: State High Performance Bonus
System (HPBS) Transmission File
Layouts for HPBS Work Measures
OMB No.: 0970–0230
Description: 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.

Description: In accordance with
Section 413(i) of the Social Security Act
and 45 CFR part 284, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to extend without change the
following information collection
requirements. For instances when
Census Bureau data show that a State’s
child poverty rate increased by 5
percent or more from one year to the
next, a State may submit independent
estimates of its child poverty rate. If
HHS determines that the State’s
independent estimates are not more
reliable than the Census Bureau
estimates, HHS will require the State to
submit an assessment of the impact of
the TANF program(s) in the State on the
child poverty rate. If HHS determines
from the assessment and other
information that the child poverty rate
in the State increased as a result of the
TANF program(s) in the State, HHS will
then require the State to submit a
corrective action plan.
Respondents: The respondents are the
50 States, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico; when reliable Census
Bureau data become available for the
Territories, additional respondents
might include Guam and the Virgin
Islands.
