The National Human Services Information Technology Resource Center (NHSITRC) Website, http://www.acf.hhs.gov/nhsitrc, is a project supported by the Administration for Children and Families ( ACF), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS).
ACF is providing this newsletter as technical assistance to States in their administration and management of automation projects in support of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs nationwide. Through this newsletter, we are informing you of new additions and inclusions on the website.
The NHSITRCState Systems website has been recently updated, key components have been added, and the entire website has been enhanced by improving its functionality and appearance.
The major updated areas include:
- State Systems Profiles
This portion of the website was enhanced to provide States online capability to update the database information. This replaces a manual paper-based process. Once a State submits the information, the website administrator validates and updates the information in a timely fashion. The website provides the current content; therefore, the user only updates the information that needs to be changed. This new enhancement expedites the change process and provides all States more timely and accurate information.
The New key components include:
- Documents Library
- A repository of State documents useful to the State IT community
- State Program and Technical Contacts
- A database containing Program and/or IT contact information
- Additional Resources
- Technical Reports
- “Modernization of State TANF Systems Using the Web for Preeligibility Screening”
