The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 1990 as amended; section 418 of the Social Security Act; 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99. |
PURPOSE: |
This Program Instruction distributes the Form ACF-696T and describes the CCDF financial reporting requirements for Tribal CCDF Lead Agencies. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the Form ACF-696T under OMB # 0970-0195. |
BACKGROUND: |
Attached is a copy of the Child Care and Development Fund Financial Report (the ACF-696T). Tribes are required to use the ACF-696T to report expenditures for the Tribal Mandatory, Discretionary and Construction and Renovation funds issued under the CCDF. Tribes must submit the ACF-696T form to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) on an annual basis. The attached ACF-696T and instructions contain only minor changes from prior-year versions:
ACF-696T is available for submission through the Internet using Online Data Collection (OLDC). Tribal Lead Agencies with OLDC assignments may access the system at https://extranet.acf.hhs.gov/ssi. Tribal Lead Agencies without OLDC assignments may access the system at the above address after submitting the OLDC Request Form to the appropriate ACF Regional Office contact. The OLDC Request Form is attached and is available electronically (along with OLDC help sheets, user guides and tutorials) at https://extranet.acf.hhs.gov/oldcdocs/materials.html. The completed OLDC Request Form may be emailed or faxed to your Regional Office contact (see attached). Please submit an OLDC Request Form for each staff person who will play a role in using OLDC. ACF will create a User ID based on the information provided on the OLDC Request Form. An e-mail message is automatically sent to the staff member identified on the Request Form when an OLDC User ID and password is created for that person. |
ACTION REQUIRED: |
Tribal Lead Agencies have the option of submitting the form ACF-696T either electronically through OLDC or manually by mailing hard copies. ACF encourages grantees to use OLDC since it reduces paperwork, allows for quicker processing, automatically completes required calculations, and checks for potential errors. Electronic or manually-submitted forms must be received by ACF within 90 days after the end of the Federal fiscal year—i.e., December 29, 2005. For manual submissions:
|
NON-REPORTING PENALTIES: |
Failure to submit the ACF-696T report on or before the due date may be a basis for withholding financial payments, suspension or termination. |
INQUIRIES: | Inquiries should be made to the appropriate ACF Regional Office. |
