Submission for Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Review; Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Data Reporting for Work Participation
(OMB #0970–0338)
Office of Family Assistance;
Administration for Children and
Families; United States Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting to extend approval of the
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Data Reporting for
Work Participation, with proposed
revisions. Revisions are intended to
improve the clarity of the instructions,
streamline reporting, and ensure all
instructions are up-to-date.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
SUMMARY:
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review-Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Identify all emailed
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This request includes the
following information collections: work
verification procedures, the Caseload
Reduction Documentation Process, the
TANF Data Report, the Separate State
Program (SSP)-Maintenance of Effort
(MOE) Data Report, and TANF sampling
instructions. The data and information
from these reports and processes are
used–and will continue to be used–for
program analysis and oversight,
including the calculation and
administration of the work participation
rate and associated penalties. Congress
provides federal funds to operate TANF
programs in the states, the District of
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and for approved
federally recognized tribes and Alaskan
Native Villages. We are proposing to
continue the same information
collections with only changes to
instructions to improve clarity and
eliminate data elements and guidance
that are no longer relevant. The Work
Verification Plan Guidance has been
updated to reflect current regulation.
The TANF and SSP–MOE Data Report
instructions were revised to streamline
the data collection, reduce the burden
on respondents by eliminating
unnecessary data elements, and clarify
confusing data elements. The TANF and
SSP–MOE Data Report layouts were also
updated to reflect the streamlined
instructions. The TANF Sample Manual
was revised to eliminate outdated and
unused sections.
Respondents: The 50 states of the
U.S., the District of Columbia, Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
