FY 2003 Annual Performance Plan
A.8 BUDGET LINKAGE TABLE
CROSS WALK OF ACF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WITH THE BUDGET:
The budget structure is a program-based account structure that allows ACF to assign amounts to the agency's strategic goals based on the activities of the program line item. In the budget justifications, the budget narrative is consistent with the goals and objectives in the performance plan. It discusses which strategic goal(s) each budget line item supports and includes selected performance measures in the narratives. A number of budget line items and their associated funds apply to more than one strategic goal or objective. In the table that follows, these line items have been listed under each relevant objective with selected measures.
To avoid duplicative counting, the dollar amounts are only associated with one appearance of their line item, usually where the associated measures most directly relate to the statutory purpose of the particular funding amount. In their appearances elsewhere, the dollar amounts are left blank and indicated with an asterisk. This table is for presentation and overview purposes, not for budgeting or performance analysis. The selected measures are representative and not intended to fully define the performance associated with the total budget under that category. Allocation of funding subtotals for each specific measure or performance goal within the objectives is not realistic. In the case of "parental responsibility" (Child Support Enforcement), dollars collected have been substituted for collection rate (the measurement dimension for the corresponding APP target) to provide uniformity to the table. A column has been added which identifies the budget program account number. Budget and other dollar figures are in millions. The budget linkage table in Appendix A-8 is not a formal budget presentation.
