DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Annual Maintenance-of-Effort (MOE) Report.
OMB No. 0970-0248.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a three-year extension of the ACF-204 (Annual MOE Report).
The report is used to collect descriptive program characteristics
information on the programs operated by States and Territories in
association with their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
programs. All State and Territory expenditures claimed toward States'
and Territories' MOE requirements must be appropriate, i.e., meet all
applicable MOE requirements. The Annual MOE Report provides the ability
to learn about and to monitor the nature of State and Territory
expenditures used to meet State's and Territories' MOE requirements,
and it is an important source of information about the different ways
that States and Territories are using their resources to help families
attain and maintain self-sufficiency.
In addition, the report is used to obtain State and Territory
program characteristics for ACF's annual report to Congress, and the
report serves as a useful resource to use in Congressional hearings
about how TANF programs are evolving, in assessing State the Territory
MOE expenditures, and in assessing the need for legislative changes.
Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
